Ethiopia, 1989. Mina is a young girl living with her family on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. She spends her free time under the fig tree with her friend Eli. Outside her beloved childhood landscape, a prolonged civil war is raging, and Eli hides to avoid conscription. When Mina’s Jewish family plans to leave Ethiopia for Israel, Mina hatches her own plan to make sure Eli joins them on their journey.
