A story of a son seeking to understand and reconcile himself with his father who as a child fled with his family from Palestine in 1948. A story about how one man's life affects his whole family, about a father and son journeying back, mentally and physically, to the place where it all started. This is a tale that evokes emotion and compassion as we follow the director¿s efforts, trying to take his father back to Damascus and Haifa, into his fathers past.
