In the crushing poverty of the Palestinian West Bank City of Nablus, childhood friends Said and Khaled pass their time drinking tea and working in menial jobs as mechanics. One day they receive a message that sets in motion what might be the last 48 hours of their lives. They have been told to go into Israel and blow themselves up. However, when things go wrong they are forced to separate at the Israeli border, their stories unfold in different ways. In Arabic with English subtitles.
