What is our heart’s journey when our world is split in two?

Grief-stricken by her late father’s sudden death, Amelia Alyssa embarks on a journey to her ancestral homeland, Lebanon. She bears witness to the ancient Baalbek ruins of the Bekaa Valley while lodging nearby at the Hotel Palmyra, a time capsule of a flourishing yesteryear.

An exploration of migration and sacrifice brings Amelia face to face with the question “where is home”? Past and present collide as Amelia enters the land of the dead where a chorus of shapeshifting wanderers evoke a descent into an archaeological underworld with mythic overtones.
