The urgent and beautiful story of Syrian immigrants who resettle in Baltimore in the US. Upon their arrival, they have eight months to find jobs, learn English, and become self-sufficient, all while they are still processing the upheaval of adjusting to a new country and dealing with the aftermath of the horrors that they endured in Syria. In the middle of this process, President Trump issues his travel ban on all refugees for Muslim-majority countries, and overnight their lives become more perilous than they could have imagined. Director Alexandra Shiva empathetically affirms the decency of a displaced community desperate for help within a country increasingly hostile to them.
