This is his first film, Basil investigates how Israelis and Palestinians are coping with attack and counterattack, anger and revenge. He shows the `normal` life people experience during the constant violence in the occupied territories. Basil talks to father of teenage girl suicide bomber Basil speaks to an Israeli-American family that lost a daughter in a suicide bombing, while he also meets the father of a young bomber, as well as a family that almost lost a child to an explosion. Behind this violence he finds compassion and humour - whether through hardened Israelis and Palestinians, Israeli Army checkpoint soldiers, even his own family. In an area often thought beyond reason, there is some rationality in discussing that revenge does not necessarily have to be the answer.
