  1967. The world is alive and ripe with possibility--new music style hope. But in Jordan thousands of refugees from Palestine are held waiting for their right to return to their homeland. Amidst this a young boy yearns to be reunited with his father. Restlessly cooped up in the refugee camp he secretly sets out on his own and along the way attaches himself to a group of young freedom fighters who take him under their wing. Together they embark on a journey of adventure driven by an unshakable resolve to be free. Following on the acclaimed Salt of this Sea writer and director Annemarie Jacir proves with When I Saw You that she has become a leader in Palestinian contemporary cinema. This heartfelt and moving film Palestine's entry for the 2013 Academy Awards is suffused with a distinct sense of this revolutionary time and place.
