The film, done in a single shot, shows us a young reporter visiting a small, marginalized community where Jews and Muslims live together on the border between Jaffa and Bat Yam, in Israel. She finds a world there that is completely unlike the one she imagined. The film follows her investigation, one which reveals the daily life, the memories, and the aspirations of the enclave's inhabitants.

Carmel

A battle from the first century is re-enacted, with Hebrews fighting off an invading Roman army. These are the first scenes of a cascade of images that explore the themes of war and violence in Israeli history: the 1973 Yom Kippur War; today's terrorism and violence; the everyday conflicts that are less aggressive but equally telling; and the role of the media in feeding a culture of brutality and reprisal.
