Amal Murkus is a Palestinian singer, actress and TV presenter who lives in the Galilee village of Kfar Yassif. The film paints a portrait of Amal as a dream girl and a warrior woman. As a successful and popular artist who performs on important stages in the world, while a large part of the Israeli public is unaware of her existence. Despite the complexity of creating as a Palestinian in Israel, she chose to stay in the village of her childhood and create in Israel in her own language and in collaboration with her son Firas and her daughter Yara.
