Synopsis: Mohammad, his wife and their five children live in a large, isolated house located halfway between a Palestinian village and an Israeli settlement.
The house, in the crossfire of the two sides, is a strategic lookout point that the Israeli army decides to seize, confining the family to a few downstairs rooms in daytime and a single room at night. Mohammad refuses to leave this home and, reinforced by his principles against violence, decides to find a way to keep his family together in the house until the Israeli soldiers move on.
