At the beginning of summer, Adam, Ana, and Dahlia turn to their families and friends to question their cultural heritage. Through tender conversations, "Here and There" juxtaposes the different influences that steer the blossoming of the cultural identities of second and third-generation immigrants.

The filmmaker turns her camera on her mother, actress Hiam Abbass, to paint an intimate intergenerational portrait of the daring Palestinian women in her family. The work offers a sensitive look at exile while celebrating the resilience of family ties.
