One day, the decision is made: Amel, a 12-year-old orphan, will leave. This is by no means a matter of choice: her country is at war. Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned. At the border, Amel loses the family who are accompanying her and finds herself alone. Along the way, she meets Bacem, an army deserter and oud (Oriental lute) player. Together, the child and the former soldier navigate through the pain of exile and learn to rebuild themselves.
