Spanning the collapse of Ottoman rule and the British Mandate in Palestine, this is the story three generations of the defiant Hajj family from the Palestinian village of Hadiya before
1948.
Through the lives of Mahmoud, elder of Hadiya, his son Khaled and Khaled’s grandson Najji, we enter the lives of a tribe whose fate is decided by one colonizer after another.
Khaled’s remarkable white mare, Hamama, and her descendants feel and share the family’s struggles and as a siege grips Hadiya, it falls to Khaled to save his people from a descending tyranny.
