In Nazareth, under a guise of banal nor-
mality, the town embraces folly.
Under pressure from his failing business, a
man takes matters into his own hands and
tries to break a chain reaction of petty feuds. He breaks down himself. The man is E.S.' father.
A love story takes place between a Pales-
tinian man living in Jerusalem and a Pales-
tinian woman from Ramallah.
The man - E.S. -shifts between his ailing
father and his love life, trying to keep both
alive. |

Because of the political situation, the woman's freedom of movement ends at the Israeli army
checkpoint between the two cities. Barred from crossing, the lovers' intimate encounters take
place on a deserted lot right beside the checkpoint.
The lovers are unable to escape from the reality of occupation. They are unable to preserve
their intimacy in the face of a siege.
A complicity of solemn desire begins to generate violent repercussions.
Against the odds, their angry hearts counter-attack with spasms of spectacular fantasy.
