SYNOPSIS
Two childhood friends from Palestine, Khaled and Said, are chosen to carry out a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. Volunteers for several years within a militant faction, they are bound by a moral contract they cannot — or will not — break. They spend one last evening with their families, unable, however, to say goodbye. The next day, equipped with their explosive belts, they are taken to the border. But the operation does not go as planned…
