Baq'a The Open Valley
While struggling to understand his place as a second generation Jordanian–born Palestinian, Abood's uncle returns from Canada with stories of his youth as a refugee following the Naksa. Soon after, and with his uncle's stories fresh in his mind, Abood finds himself lost in the streets of Amman, where he meets a young stranger who offers to guide him home as she shares her thoughts on the country, the people, and her identity as a Palestinian living in Jordan.
