Eighty-year-old Susu leaves her home in Damascus to join her daughter’s family in Dubai after her seven children seek refuge around the world. Living in the Gulf city offers her safety, yet she longs to return to her now-empty family house in Syria. The film captures her emotional struggle as she navigates life in a new country while holding onto memories of her homeland, which millions have also left behind.
