A young journalist, recently married with a young child, is seeking a quieter life away from the city & has bought a large new home in his parent`s hometown. It`s a complicated return
- his wife hates his parents
- but they are also moving back to live in an Arab village in Israel. Nothing is as they remember: everything is smaller, the people petty & provincial & the villagers divided between sympathy for the Palestinians & dependence on the Israelis. Suddenly & shockingly, the village becomes a pawn in the never-ending power struggles of the Middle East. When Israeli tanks surround the village without warning or explanation, everyone inside is cut off from the outside world. As the situation grows increasingly dire, paranoia begins to threaten the community`s fragile equilibrium, forcing the hero to decide what it means to be human in an inhuman situation.
