When Nour is diagnosed with kidney failure Mohammed vows to raise enough money to get her an organ transplant. At his singing lessons he becomes infatuated and inspired by a girl he meets who convinces him to continue on his path to pop superstardom even after tragedy devastates Mohammed and his family. His journey ultimately leads him to make the dangerous crossing into Egypt for the first auditions of 'Arab Idol' in Cairo where he hopes to impress enough to make it on to the main show as a symbol of hope for Palestine.
