It is not always an option to be a refugee, to flee to the unknown and leave everything behind in search of safety. That's exactly what happens to 14-year-old Zina when a shell destroys the roof of her house in Syria. As a result, she gets to sleep under the stars for the first time. At the same time, she develops a great friendship with the neighbor boy Amer, who shares her dream of one day seeing the sea. Zina and her family are faced with a difficult choice: leave everything behind or stay. Which raises the question: is the real warmth in the walls of the home related to the place or to the presence of those we love? The film won the Audience Award at the Venice Film Festival.
