Haneen, a young Palestinian student at the American University in Cairo, lives between two worlds that cannot be reconciled: the ordinary routines of campus life and the terrifying reality of her family’s survival in besieged Gaza, just across the border.
When she tries to turn her helplessness into action by organising a campus protest, she runs into an institution that polices her grief. The film asks what it is like to be physically safe but emotionally under fire, and powerless to help the people you love.
