Young Palestinian baker Omar (Adam Bakri) is accustomed to dodging surveillance bullets to cross the separation wall to visit his secret love Nadia in Israel. But occupied Palestine knows neither simple love nor clear-cut war. On the other side of the wall, the sensitive Omar becomes a freedom fighter who must face painful choices about life and manhood.
