A comedy-drama love story between a Palestinian man living in Jerusalem and a Palestinian woman from Ramallah, set in the tense political context of their two adjacent cities that are divided by a guarded checkpoint. The lovers arrange clandestine meetings with each other, which include parking their cars on either sides of the checkpoint, just so that they can hold hands at the border.
