The war in Iraq has caused the largest flow of refugees in the world today. Like two million other Iraqis, Abu Achmed, a tea seller, had to flee his home with his family of eight. His own family does not tolerate his marriage to the Shiite woman Wafa. Out of fear, his three eldest daughters have not been allowed to leave their home for years. While the family has found refuge in Damascus, Syria, they have not found a new home. A film about waiting on the eve of the Arab Spring.
