- Synopsis
- Somewhere in the West Bank, Chaim, an Israeli soldier is injured during an accident, losing his memory as a result. When the young man is found wandering lost by a Palestinian villager, he is mistaken for Nasim, a young Palestinian man who has long been disappeared in an Israeli prison.
  His mother, Ismahan, takes care of the newcomer, truly believing that the stranger is her son and making every effort to help him regain all the time lost. Although her niece Rana initially mistrusts the young man, she will eventually fall in love with him and become inseparable. Chaim will also meet his childhood friend Samir, who is now part of a radical brigade that soon starts suspecting the newcomer.
  Chaim’s identity will become so intertwined with his new Palestinian life that the moment he remembers his past, he will be forced to make a tremendous sacrifice, as his former life pushes through pain and tears.
