Dounia and her grandparents slowly get to know Canada, the country that welcomed them: its changing seasons, diverse cuisines, and varied languages. Along the way, a beautiful confluence of three distinct cultures unfolds: Dounia’s Syrian heritage, Rosalie’s Quebecois background, and Miguizou’s indigenous roots. Amidst this cultural tapestry, Dounia grapples with wartime trauma and the haunting absence of her father. Yet hope shines when he is liberated from an Aleppo prison, embarking on a quest to reunite with his daughter. With the guidance of Kukum, Miguizou’s grandmother, Dounia learns to call her father with her heart, which will ultimately lead to him finding his daughter.
