Synopsis:

Salma, a Palestinian widow - living there for decades - , has to stand  
up against her new
neighbor, the Israeli Defense Minister, when he moves into his new  
house opposite her lemon
grove, on the green line border between Israel and the West Bank. The  
Israeli security forces
are quick to declare that Salma's trees pose a threat to the Ministers  
safety and issue orders
to uproot them. Together with Ziad Daud, a young Palestinian lawyer,  
Salma goes all the way
to the Israeli Supreme Court to try and save her trees. Her struggle  
raises the interest of
Mira Navon, the Defense ministers wife, trapped in her new home and in  
an unhappy life.
Despite their differences and the borders between them the two women  
develop an invisible
bond, while forbidden ties grow stronger between Salma and Ziad.  
Salma's legal and personal
journey lead her deep into the complex, dark and sometimes funny chaos  
of the ongoing struggle
in the Middle East, in which all players find themselves alone in  
their struggle to survive.



see you


Amar
