War, exile, loss of home... Like so many people around the world, Tamara also feels these fateful extremes. Around 70 years ago, the young girl and her family were expelled from their home in Jaffa, Palestine. Since then, painting, Tamara's great passion, has given expression to her deep feelings. One night she draws a picture of her old home and goes on a mental journey to the house of her childhood, whose new residents are more than strangers to her.
