In 2017, Mosul was liberated after three years under IS control. The battle to reclaim the city had razed it to the ground and displaced thousands of civilians who are now trying to return home. Told through the parallel stories of Ala' and a senior UN figure leading international efforts to rebuild the city, this powerful film profiles the efforts to raise a city, and a people, from the rubble.

When the war with IS in Iraq is nearly over, the displaced people who fled from Mosul want to return to their old homes and lives. Ala’, an eleven-year-old girl, is one of these refugees. She dreams of having a small garden at her family home, even though the city is in ruins.
