Miral plot
"Is this the face of a terrorist?"
Jerusalem, 1948. On her way to work, Hind Husseini bumps into 55 street children. She takes the orphans to her house and gives them food and drink. Within six months, the number of orphans rose from 55 to nearly 2,000 and the 'Dar Al-Tifel' Institute was born. Miral (Freida Pinto) is sent to the institute by her father at the age of 7. Raised safely in the orphanage and naive as she is, she is sent to a refugee camp at the age of 17, where she has to act as a teacher. Here, the naive Miral is confronted with the harsh reality. When she falls for political activist Hani, she soon finds herself between two fires; the future of her loved ones and 'Mama' Hind's belief that (her) education is a path to peace.
