How does one remember a homeland they are so deeply connected to and disconnected from? When Canadian born filmmaker Emilie travels to Syria for the first time in ten years, she feels alienated. A year later, when her grandmother dies and the war begins, she tries to piece back together an image of this elusive country she desperately wants to call her own. Gathering evidence from the past, stories from refugees and bringing along her father for the ride, Emilie embarks on a lucid dream journey hoping to resurrect a fading connexion with her homeland and her father.
