Aida (the director's mother) struggles with Alzheimer's disease and memory loss, frequently "returning" to the Yafa of her youth, until her ultimate return. This film is a tribute to the past and an attempt to restore the individual and collective memory of Palestinians who have been prevented from returning home even after death.
