Beirut, Lebanon, today. Wardi is an 11 year-old Palestine girl who lives with her family in the refugee camp where she was born. Her beloved great-grandfather Sidi was one of the first people to move there after being thrown out of his home in 1948. The day that Sidi gives his great-granddaughter the key to their old house in Galilee sparks a fear in the girl that he has lost the hope to return there one day. While trying to find Sidi’s hope in the camp, Wardi hears what several generations of her relations have to say.
