"People are usually born in their homeland, but for us, our homeland is born in us."

This documentary looks at how those Palestinians living in exile in London feel and how those born in the UK understand their identity. Director Osama Qashoo, forced to leave Palestine and newly arrived in London, interviews a large number of generations of exiles, who explain to him the sickness of their situation. It is through these statements that the filmmaker starts to understand at first hand how it really feels to be an exile.
