A trivial altercation between a Lebanese Christian and a Palestinian refugee becomes the lightning rod for a divisive court case. As the media circus surrounding the case threatens a social explosion in divided Lebanon, Tony and Yasser reconsider their values and beliefs as revelations of trauma complicate their understanding of one another. This Oscar nominee is an ethically thorny morality play that transcends borders, cultures and religious beliefs.
