The children explore nature, mysticism and what their future holds, while learning to live with the surrounding brutality c. 1990. Yusef`s family scrapes by in a seaside camp while his father`s in prison and his heavily-armed brother`s on the run, parrying with Israeli troops. Salah, Yusef`s schoolmate from a well-off Arab family strives faithfully to assist them, while Yusef helps an elderly, blind neighbor escape from his lonely abandonment into the North American dreamworld he`s waited so long for.
