Faysal, Palestinian in his thirties, receives a mysterious death notice.

Who is this Aunt Rita?

Intrigued, he abandons his lover and his life in Europe to return to Jabalayn, his native village.

In the deserted palace of his childhood, he wanders.

The past reappears, sumptuous and heavy with secrets.

As the threat of imminent annexation looms, as a family and a country dawn, Faysal's mind shifts.
