Due to the threats of war, 8-year-old Tala is not allowed to go outside. Her only connection to the world is her television, that her father Taher throws out of the window adhering to the new TV ban.

Fear, silence and boredom overcome her, making life in their small apartment unbearable. She decides to steal a TV and hide it without anyone knowing about it. A small decision that will have implications that will change the course of her life forever.
