Surrounded by burned-down orchards and people seemingly resigned to their fate, a young Palestinian man named Usama returns to his homeland after working in the Gulf for some years. Now an operative in the resistance movement, his mission is to blow up buses transporting Palestinian workers into Israel. Shocked to discover that, in his absence, many of his fellow countrymen have adjusted to life under Israeli military rule, Usama exchanges harsh words with friends and family.

Despite feeling much uncertainty, he sets out to accomplish his objective ... with disastrous consequences.
