Fatima moves from her Moroccan
village at the age of 20, to live with her husband in France. Now, 20 years on,
she is divorced and works as a cleaner
to support her two teenage daughters. Fatima still speaks French poorly and is constantly frustrated by her daughters, her pride and joy, and her greatest source of worry. One day, she takes a fall on the stairs and, while on leave, begins to write to her daughters in Arabic, putting into words that which she has never been able to express in French.

Saar is a 39-year-old, ex-Israeli army,
HIV positive gay man living in London, where he found refuge from the religious kibbutz where he grew up in Israel. Ever since he was diagnosed with HIV, Saar has craved his family’s love, while they struggle with fears and prejudices. Saar and the rest of his surrogate brothers in the London Gay Men’s Chorus provide a glorious soundtrack for this documentary about the power of forgiveness and the powerful pull that home has, no matter how far we go. An upbeat, ultimately life affirming take on a topical issue.
