One day, Ida discovers a jar of olives that came from a beloved aunt in her family's village near Jerusalem. She eats one and finds herself there - as if her parents had never left Palestine! Things are different in her alternate reality - harder in many ways, but also strangely familiar and comforting. Now Ida has to make some tough choices. Which Ida would she rather be? How can she find her place?
