Inside Jordan’s Zaatari Refugee Camp the Syrians are waiting for a finish to the “endless war”, and an end to their desolate situation. Among them a community begins to grow: the Kachach. The tradition of the bird breeder is undergoing a strong comeback in this place where everyone must endure and no one is allowed to leave. With great care the birds are reared and observed on their flights home, accompanied by the memories of their owners. On their return to the camp the little pigeons bring back to the men pieces of their dreams for freedom.
