Synopsis: At the time of the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, during the final hours before the surrender of Nazareth, Fuad – a member of the Palestinian resistance is separated from Thurayya, the love of his life. She flees the conflict, traveling to Jordan with her family, but Fuad is captured before being able to escape. Years pass. Arrested and accused of smuggling arms, he encounters Thurayya again at the police station. Nazareth is undergoing a period of extreme political upheaval: the desire to regain and reassert a national identity – is growing. Thurayya’s brother appears at Fuad’s house during a riot. Elia’s aged mother is tended by a Filipino nurse. A cop is madly in love with the nurse, who has made him her domestic slave. Rather than arresting Elia, the cop is the first to welcome him. Everything is an absurdity, and Elia struggles to make sense of it all, but in vain. Is it Elia who carries Palestine with him wherever he goes, or is it Palestine that is spreading throughout the rest of the world?
