Synopsis
Hamdan is a former Palestinian leader who was detained in the old Israeli prisons for 15 years. In 1973, whilst living in Syria, he received the mission of transporting explosives over the border and training someone he could trust. The man he chose was Omar, a neighbour from his village. After two months, Omar went ahead early, without respecting the original aim of the mission, and detonated a bomb on a bus. The investigation led to Hamdan, who was imprisoned. Via his memories the film reconstructs the preparations for the mission and his years in jail.
