At the age of twenty, Hiam Abbass left her home village in Palestine to pursue her dream of becoming an actress in Europe, leaving behind her mother, her grandmother and her seven sisters. Thirty years later her daughter, the filmmaker Lina, returns there with her, wondering for the first time about the bold decisions taken by her mother, her voluntary exile and the way in which the women in her family have influenced both their lives. Flitting between past and present, the work alternates current images, home movies from the nineties and historical archives to depict four generations of Palestinian women who keep alive their legacy and history despite exile, eviction and broken hearts.
