Determined to see her before he dies, Fouad’s family tracks her down. To everyone’s surprise, Carla arrives with her mother and her young son, instantly capturing Fouad’s heart as he fulfills his lifelong dream of becoming a grandparent.

Just as she prepares to return to France, a heart donor for her father is found, bringing the donor’s father and brother, Sherif, to Lebanon. The meeting sparks a bond between the families, and Carla and Sherif fall in love. Yet Sherif conceals a previous marriage and family in Egypt, a secret that threatens to shatter Carla’s heart. Roots explores themes of family secrets, forbidden love, and the complexities of relationships, highlighting how hidden truths can redefine bonds, test loyalties, and challenge the heart in unexpected ways.
