This is a film aimed at restoring the positive image of Palestinians ... Muna Farah (Nissling Faour) is a single mother of Palestinian descent. She left the West Bank with her 0/6-year-old son Merka Moalem, and immigrated to a small town in Illinois with dreams and hopes, full of enthusiasm for a better life and future.

Facing the completely unfamiliar cultural atmosphere and living environment, Fadi is experiencing rebellious adolescence, but he still has to try to adapt to a brand-new and completely different educational constitution and campus rules. As for Muna, who has strong willpower and never gives in, she has worked hard to create a more anticipated future for her son. She got a job in the local "White Castle" fast food chain and never knew how hard she worked.

What happened to the Farah family in the United States was the struggle and confusion that immigrant families and the first generation of immigrants living here had to face in the process of growing up. In their minds, the original cultural heritage and the impact of the new world are constantly tug-of-war.
