Unsure of his place as a second generation Palestinian born and raised

in Amman, Jordan, Abood's dissociation with his birth–country prevents

him from interacting with it and the people within it. But when his

uncle visits from Canada, telling stories of his past as a survivor of

the Naksa (the second expulsion of Palestinians in 1967) and his youth

growing up in the Baq'a Refugee Camp at the base of Amman, Abood begins

to listen more closely to the people around him as they speak about

their hope, the spiritual, and the mundane.

Soon after, finding

himself lost in the streets of Amman — and never having bothered to

understand the city he was born in — Abood must rely on a young female

stranger to guide him home. As she leads him through Amman, she shares

her perspective on the country, the people, and her identity as a

Jordanian–Palestinian. The stories from Abood's uncle remain in his

mind, and come to ahead as the young stranger eventually leads Abood to a

long–deserted Palestinian home, leaving him with a new understanding of

Jordan, as well as his identity as a Palestinian.
