After losing her parents and brother in the war, 22-year-old Aya now lives in a tent in Rafah, displaced from her home in Gaza City. Once an emerging artist working on new songs, she now clings to music as a lifeline. As bombs fall around her, Ayasets out to find a composer and a studio to record a song born of loss and survival. This film follows her journey to reclaim her voice; and, with it, the hope of one day returning home.
