Synopsis
In June 2002, the Israeli authorities began construction on a gigantic security fence, aimed at preventing Palestinian terrorists from infiltrating Israeli territory. The wall imprisons Palestinians and Israelis alike. Despite its modernity, there is something terribly outdated about it, almost medieval. It is destroying one of the most historically significant landscapes in the world, while imprisoning one people and enclosing the other. While observing the massive project of its construction upon a transfigured land, thoughts are immediately triggered about the day it will finally be dismantled. This non-fiction tale serves as a cinematic meditation on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which the filmmaker blurs the lines of hatred by asserting her double identity as Jew and Arab.
