Ali, a Syrian refugee embraced by an affluent British family, defies the boundaries of his past as he takes the stage at a prestigious national concert, passionately wielding his music as a form of activism. However, upon returning home, his parents harshly punish him for his perceived transgressions, disavowing his heritage and culture altogether. Ali leaves behind him a glimmer of hope for the future, entrusting his stepsister with the key to a new, inclusive world where the aspirations of the next generation can flourish.
