Leaving her village to follow her dream of becoming an actress, Hiam Abbass also left behind her mother, grandmother and seven sisters. Thirty years later, her filmmaker daughter Lina returns with her to journey through the vanished places among the scattered memories of four generations of daring Palestinian women.

Napuštajući svoje selo kako bi ispunila svoj san o glumi, Hiam Abbas također napušta svoju majku, baku i sedam sestara. Trideset godina poslije, njena kćerka, režiserka Lina vraća se s majkom da bi proputovale nestalim mjestima i raštrkanim sjećanjima četiri generacije hrabrih palestinskih žena.
