Single mother Muna leaves Palestine with her teenage son Fadi in search of an exciting future in the promised land of small town Illinois. In America, as her son navigates high school hallways the way he used to move through military checkpoints, the indomitable Muna scrambles together a new life.
Facing the usual stereotypes and learning one or two lessons in cultural translation, the endearing character of Muna and her son are the center of this entertaining yet sensitive tale of immigration, which travels from Palestine to the United States. Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize in Cannes!
