Synopsis

While millions of migratory birds fly free in the skies above, a dynamic Palestinian refugee yearns for the ancestral homeland she is denied. She challenges her friend to find the ancient mulberry tree that stands as witness to her family’s existence, guided only by inherited memories, a blind man and a two-headed dragon.

Spanning fifteen years, this story of a friendship that stays connected across a fragmented land and a divided people, reflects on freedom of movement, exile and the hope of return.
