1948: an Egyptian filmmaker is creating newsreel stories about a volunteer force tasked to liberate Palestinian farmers. The journey propels him towards a chance encounter with a tenacious young leader of a nearby commune that will set in motion events that will change their lives forever.

Based on true events, this story is set in the 1970s in Jerusalem. Yaakov Elbaz, recently released from prison, is recruited by the police to infiltrate the Black Panthers, a protest group consisting of Sephardi Jews (Middle Eastern Jews). Initially serving as a mole, Elbaz gradually becomes involved with the group and begins to empathize with their ideals. His growing connection to their cause leads him into a dangerous double game that threatens to ruin his life.
