SUMMARY
Jordan, 1967. The world is alive with change: brimming with reawakened energy, new styles, music, and infectious hope. In Jordan, a different kind of change is underway as tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees pour across the border in the wake of the 1967 war. Having been separated from his father in the chaos of war, Tarek, 11, and his mother Ghaydaa are amongst them. Placed in “temporary” refugee camps, they wait, like the generation before them who arrived in 1948. Struggling to adjust to life in Harir camp and longing to be reunited with his father, Tarek searches a way out, and discovers a new hope emerging with the times. Eventually his free spirit and curious nature lead him to a group of people on a journey that will change their lives.
When I Saw You is the story of people affected by the times around them, in search of something more in their lives. A journey full of adventure, love, humor, and the desire to be free, but most of all this is a story about that moment in a person’s life when he wakes up and finds the whole world is open and everything is possible—that moment you feel most alive. It is a journey of the human spirit that knows no borders.
