Synopsis

A Palestinian family finds themselves caught in the crossfire when their home is confiscated by the Israeli army. Off a road between Israeli settlements and a Palestinian village live a modestly affluent Palestinian couple and their five children. One day Israeli soldiers take the house over as an observation post. While the kitchen is shared, the living room becomes the family's confines and the upstairs off-limits military territory, where trespass could result in death.
