synopsis

Filmed over 10 years, one girl’s epic journey from Syria to Germany and back again. She and her family navigate war, exile, and heartbreak in a foreign land, illuminating the complexities of the refugee experience.

A poignant, decade-spanning portrait of a Syrian refugee caught between two ideas of home... highly polished, emotionally accessible.

Variety

By following the girl for a decade, we not only watch her grow into a young woman, but the film also offers a rare glimpse at both the joys and strains of a life lived between two worlds.
