When his F16 crash lands in Beirut, Yoni (Stephen Dorff), an Israeli army pilot, is taken prisoner by a group of Palestinian refugees. The most dangerous of his captors is a young boy named Khaled, barely tall enough to threaten him, whose memories of the country he doesn't really know all come from stories told him by his father, who tends a young olive tree in the hope of planting it at home one day. When his father dies, Khaled decides to return to the family village. He makes a deal with Yoni, who will help him across the border in exchange for his freedom. But how will he find his village, which is no longer on any maps, in a country that is no longer his own?

More than just a script, this is a waking dream where both sides learn to know and love one another camps, realizing that neither of them is a monster. In other words, a fantasy version of the Middle East war in which universal peace is an option. After crying enough tears to irrigate the whole region, the audience is ripped back into brutal reality. This enchanted and naïve movie by Eran Riklis is more of a sweet fairy tale than a real analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
