While millions of birds migrate freely in the skies above, Fadia, a Palestinian refugee stranded in Lebanon, yearns for the ancestral homeland she is denied. When a chance meeting introduces her to the director, Sarah, she challenges her to find an ancient mulberry tree that once grew next to her grandfather’s house in historic Palestine, a tree that stands witness to her family’s existence. Sarah Beddington’s film is a compelling account of her friendship with her protagonist Fadia. This striking, deeply poetic and profound film makes connections to bird migration and the healing power of a particular tree against the backdrop of history, as well as the cruel fate that separates a people from their homeland.
