After his birth, Muhi had to be brought from Gaza to an Israeli hospital to save his life. Only his grandfather Abu Naim was allowed to accompany him. At the age of two, his condition worsened dramatically and the doctors were forced to amputate his limbs. Muhi settles in: with artificial arms and legs, surrounded by his loving caregivers, between his home and his home. Due to the desolate state of healthcare in Gaza, returning there would be a death sentence, but Israeli security regulations prohibit him and his grandfather from entering Israeli soil. Months have become years, and Muhi, now seven years old, has spent his entire life in this hospital with his grandfather. He is growing up under paradoxical circumstances – saved, treated and raised by the enemy of his people, while his actual family lives in Gaza. Will he be able to continue living with Abu Naim in the hospital when he starts school in the summer? A dilemma for everyone involved, requiring a difficult decision: will Muhi grow up in Israel without his family or return to Gaza at the risk of his life?
