To examine the deteriorating relations between Palestine and Israel following the Hamas attack on October 7, the director walks into the heart of Jerusalem, a city that has been a holy site for Judaism, Islam, and Christianity for centuries, where tension and hatred have become a daily reality. Even though Jews and Muslims live in the same building, they do not communicate with each other and occasionally attack one another. However, the residents, from their respective positions and perspectives, ponder solutions for coexistence and peace between Muslims and Jews.
In a time when democracy is in danger and truth under attack, the film returns to the life story of the greatest activist of all, Karl Marx, who gave us tools to analyze reality, through an encounter with Israeli activists – Jews and Arabs, who tell about Marx’s influence on them, and open a window into his world in an attempt to present Marxism as a multigenerational and multicultural phenomenon, found in every aspect of our lives.
