While her husband is serving his sentence in an Israeli prison where any physical contact is strictly forbidden, a woman hatches a plan to smuggle in sperm to conceive a child. A beautiful and creative idea from those in charge of filming the Palestinian struggle in a short film, a lesson in a dramatic form, in which sound was used to express intimate feelings in a beautiful romantic way, as well as the use of music to show a beautiful cinematic image. .

After years abroad in Italy, Shadi returns to his native Nazareth. But this is no spectacular homecoming. He's back somewhat begrudgingly to honour his "wajib" (or duty) to hand out invitations to his sister's wedding with his father. The simmering tension between the two — who are often stuck in a car, more often than not in traffic — builds, exposing the sometimes-comic chasms that exist between men who live in different worlds but share an unshakable bond.
