Palestinian diasporic communities rely on the memories of relatives and ancestors to hold on to roots which were violently severed in 1948. Scattered throughout the world, the grandchildren of the displaced rely on memory and oral history to retain their connection to a prohibited landscape.

After years abroad in Italy, Shadi returns to his native Nazareth. But this is no spectacular homecoming. He's back somewhat begrudgingly to honour his "wajib" (or duty) to hand out invitations to his sister's wedding with his father. The simmering tension between the two — who are often stuck in a car, more often than not in traffic — builds, exposing the sometimes-comic chasms that exist between men who live in different worlds but share an unshakable bond.
