Annu

Sana and Annu — grandmother and six-year-old granddaughter, live together in a Druze village in the Galilee. The day before Annu’s family is due to move to Haifa, Annu suddenly loses consciousness. When she wakes up beside her grandmother, she whispers: “You will find my children in Syria.” Sana becomes convinced that Annu is the reincarnation of her sister Muna, who was killed in the war, and is overwhelmed by the revelation. But Annu’s parents explain it away as a side effect of epilepsy and medication. They ask Sana to stop and begin to distance the two from one another. Heartbroken, Sana sets out on a journey to cross into Syria — the homeland she left at seventeen. There, she uncovers not only the true meaning behind her granddaughter’s words, but also what she herself has been searching for all along.
