In Yenín's refugee field, the daily life of the Palestinians is marked by bombings, military and funeral incursions. Jena, trapped in an environment in which civilians and armed militants coexist, faces a daily life marked by bombings, military incursions and destruction. Since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, Israeli military operations in the West Bank have intensified their devastation, forcing Jena to live in a state of constant fear, surrounded by death and destruction.

At the same time, in the hills near Nablus, a family of Jewish settlers faces the sacrifices and pain that accompany their decision to remain in this land in dispute. Renana, who lost her Rabbi father in an attack of Palestinian combatants, is deeply committed to the defense of her land, a feeling that has transformed her life and the relationship with her mother.
