The film, it sheds the light on a young Palestinian lady, Amira, whose relationship with her father is restricted to only prison visits.

However, her father is still her only hero, and his absence is filled with several good relationships with friends, family, and relatives.

Later on, Nawar attempts to have another baby by using the same he used to deliver his daughter Amira, but she discovered that he is infertile.

This question turns the young lady's lie upside down and sets the audience to wide mazes of thoughts about prison, immigration, occupation, and life itself.

The film stars Saba Mubarak, Tara Abboud, and Ali Sulaiman, and it participated at this year's Venice Film Festival.
