A unique and poetic journey exploring the lives of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges in the besieged and war torn Gaza Strip. Jomana, a woman from the Shati refugee camp falls in love with Rami, an American Palestinian doctor on a humanitarian mission. Can their love transcend closed borders, falling bombs and high prison walls?
