The bonds of family, the trauma of civil war, the notion of forgiveness and how our circumstances shape us.

Set in 2012, Karma follows Adeeb, a young man born in Canada who believes that he lived a previous life in Syria. His Syrian mother, Karma, worries for his mental health, and forces him to dismiss the notion. Now an adult, Adeeb travels to Syria, forcing himself and his mother to confront their past and current lives.
