Terek (Shredi Jabarin ) is a young Arab who leaves the city of Tue Karem to be a suicide bomber in Tel Aviv, but he is given a second chance on life when his bomb doesn’t function. With nothing to do until he can repair his explosive vest, Terek is forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv among the very people he had intended to kill in the market. He quickly encounters several Israeli outsiders, including Mr. and Mrs. Katz, an elderly electrician and his wife who lost their soldier son and the young and beautiful Keren (Hili Yalon) who has been mysteriously cut off from her Orthodox Jewish roots. With nothing to lose on either side, they open up to one another and an unlikely love blooms between these two isolated and damaged individuals. Raised to be enemies, Keren and Terek are surprised to find they share so many things and for a moment they allow themselves to be carried away by their emotions. But the threat of a remote detonation by Terek’s comrades looms large and forces them to make painful choices that will forever change their lives.
