Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month old son as
Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her
son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed
forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin and exiled from the ancient
village that is their lifeblood, the family struggles to rebuild their world.
Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the
daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United
States: the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom and the
stole son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own
brother.
