What is left for Palestinian farmers who learn that in 24 hours the Israeli army will confiscate their lands for the construction of a'security wall'? What do people do when their very survival is threatened by one of the world's most powerful armies? This is the story of a village's confusion, desperation, and resistance, the daily victories and wrenching defeats. Filmed at times with a hidden camera and at times under extreme duress, this film is a chronicle of a people and their ancient life-giving orchards, ever threatened by destruction.
