Omar (Adam Bakri) is accustomed to dodging surveillance bullets to cross the separation wall to visit his secret love Nadia (Leem Lubany). But occupied Palestine knows neither simple love nor clear-cut war. On the other side of the wall, the sensitive young baker Omar becomes a freedom fighter who must face painful choices about life and manhood. When Omar is captured after a deadly act of resistance, he falls into a cat-and-mouse game with the military police. Suspicion and betrayal jeopardise his longtime trust with accomplices and childhood friends Amjad (Samer Bisharat) and Tarek (Eyad Hourani), Nadia’s militant brother. Omar’s feelings quickly become as torn apart as the Palestinian landscape. (Soda Pictures)
