A personal journey of diaspora and belonging, where a woman's quest to reclaim her family's past becomes a reckoning with identity, displacement, and the weight of inherited loss.

Born in Brooklyn to Palestinian refugee parents, Soraya decides to journey to the country of her ancestry when she discovers that her grandfather's savings have been frozen in a Jaffa bank account since his 1948 exile. However, she soon finds that her simple plan is a complicated undertaking — one that takes her further from her comfort zone than she'd imagined.
