Written and directed by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, the film stars Evelyne Brochu as Chloé, a Canadian medical doctor with the Red Crescent.
Splitting her time between her clinic in Ramallah, West Bank and Jerusalem, Chloé finds her loyalties torn as she witnesses the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on her friends, colleagues and patients on both sides of the border.
Chloé (Evelyne Brochu) is a young Canadian obstetrician who works at a Red Crescent clinic in Ramallah, West Bank, but lives in Jerusalem.
One of Chloé's patients is a pregnant Palestinian woman named Rand (Sabrina Ouazani), whose husband Ziad is in an Israeli prison awaiting trial.
Back in Jerusalem, Ava confides in Chloé about her unease with the dehumanizing aspects of checkpoint duty but is unable to quit her job.
While Chloé reads Rand's farewell letter, the denouement is interspersed with footage of Safi playing by the separation barrier and imagining a growing tree.
