Film description
Amira, a 17-year-old Palestinian, was conceived with the smuggled sperm of her imprisoned father, Nawar. Although their relationship since birth has been restricted to prison visits, he remains her hero. His absence in her life is over-compensated with love and affection from those surrounding her. But when a failed attempt to conceive another child reveals Nawar’s infertility, Amira’s world turns upside down. A sensitive microcosmic exploration of the division and xenophobia that exists in today’s world, and at the same time a fascinating portrait of a powerful woman and a whole country in an impasse.
