As a mural unfolds before of our eyes, we hear the sounds of construction work going on far off in the distance. The mural depicts a Mediterranean landscape: a cactus, a cypress, and an olive tree. The camera sweeps over the fresco, then freezes. Heaps of fallen rocks keep getting in the way, though we haven?t really noticed them. We suddenly discover the cause of these fallen rocks: an olive tree has broken through a wall. This is the wall that separates Israel and Palestine
