Jamal has recently come back to Australia after an 18-month absence, during which he was involved in the conflict in Syria. His return is driven by a desire to visit his mother, who is gravely ill. However, he must also confront his assertive older brother Omar, his wife Heidi, and their young son, whom he abandoned. Most challenging of all is facing his unforgiving father. The question remains: what is Jamal’s true motive for returning? Is he a committed activist or merely a pawn in a larger scheme? This narrative explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the impact of one’s actions on family and those left behind.
