Imagine that you have siblings, but you can’t talk to them because you don’t speak the same language. Imagine that you have parents, but you were raised without them. The film tells the extraordinary story of a Palestinian family which was dispersed by several turmoils that shaped the last century: from the Spanish Civil War, in which the father, Najati Sidki, fought against Franco and fascism, to World War II, the Nakba, and the Lebanese Civil War.
