Synopsis
Binyamin Haneman's graduation project is dedicated to his homeland — the Israeli settlement of Psagot, situated on the border with Ramallah and Palestinian villages. Using a camera, old photographs, and conversations with two other individuals from Psagot — poet and writer Yonatan Berg and artist Yifat Steinmetz — the director reconstructs the history of the place where, during their childhood, there were no fences with barbed wire and armed militants on the border between the two countries. He remembers how in 2000, at the start of the Second Intifada (escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict), the town rapidly transformed into a site of deadly conflict between two nations, ideologies, and religions.
