The film is set in the near future, and it looks back on how peace was made in 2013 between Israel and Palestine. It is the story of two businessmen - one Palestinian and one Israeli - who struggle to set up a solar energy company. Both come from societies where there is strong opposition to cooperating with the other, and the film tells how they overcome hostility from within their own families and from the people around them.

She grabs her husband and two kids and heads to the seaside for a much-needed ‘breather.’ The camera, through the rear window, captures the car with the family inside as they drive further and further away from Jerusalem, leaving the city behind on the picturesque mountains.

However, there too, things continue to go awry as Sarah slowly comes to realise that getting away for a ‘quick breather’ is, in fact, not as simple a plan as she might have hoped.
