Synopsis
On October 27, 1996, 11 year old Hilmi Shusha from the village of Hussan was killed. After his death, Hilmi became a symbol of the Palestinian struggle. The man eventually convicted in the death, after a series of trials, was Nahum Korman, a security officer from the nearby Jewish settlement of Betar Illit. Ten years later, the film revisits the story's central figures, the events of that day, and the injustice caused to Hilmi's family.
