The story of Hind Husseini's effort to establish an orphanage in Jerusalem after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the establishment of the state of Israel. Jerusalem, 1948. On her way to work, Hind Husseini comes across 55 orphaned children in the street. She takes them home to give them comfort. Within six months, 55 had grown to almost 2,000, and the Dar Al-Tifel Institute was born. In 1978, at the age of 7, Miral was sent to the Institute by her father following her mother's death. Brought up safely inside the Institute's walls, she is naïve to the troubles that surround her. Then, in 1988, at the age of 17, she is assigned to teach at a refugee camp where she is awakened to the reality of the Palestinian refugees. When she falls for Hani, a terrorist, she finds herself torn between the First Intifada of her people and Mama Hind's belief that education is the road to peace.
