The wings of darkness hover over the peaceful Palestinian village of Al-Majdal, when a sinister black bird appears, casting its evil spells upon the villagers. It steals their joy and leaves them gripped by fear and terror. Because of it, Sa’da—the village seamstress—loses her memory, and the beautiful patterns and designs passed down through generations fade away.

The women of the village ask Sa’da to embroider decorations on their dresses, and so she embarks on a journey across towns and cities in Palestine to collect the traditional embroidery motifs and reclaim her lost memory.

Which cities will she visit?

Who will she meet along the way?

And will this village be able to stand against the darkness?
