Plot

The film is set in Israel, where Palestinian student Nimr Mashrawi (Nicholas Jacob) is heading to Tel Aviv to meet his friend Mustafa N'amnais (Loai Nofi) at a gay bar. While at the bar, he meets a local Israeli lawyer named Roy Schaefer (Michael Aloni). The couple fall in love, though Nimr struggles with the reality of their relationship. Palestinian society rejects Nimr because of his sexual orientation, whereas Israeli society rejects him due to his nationality. The situation is made worse for Nimr when he realises his brother Nabil Mashrawi (Jamil Khoury) is hiding a weapon stockpile for his militant friends.

Nimr is granted a student visa to study at a university in Tel Aviv, giving him more opportunity to see Roy. However, he is soon approached by the Israeli Secret Service who pressure him into becoming an informant by threatening to cancel his visa. Nimr refuses and his visa is cancelled. Unbeknownst to Nimr, Mustafa has been living illegally in Tel Aviv under a similar arrangement. When he is unable to provide any more information, he is forcibly deported back to the West Bank where he is immediately abducted by Nabil and his gang of extremists. Nimr is forced to watch as his friend is tortured and executed for being homosexual and an informant.

Later, while going through Mustafa's phone, Nabil and his friends find a photo of Nimr. Despite their differences, Nabil lets Nimr escape rather than killing him. Nimr makes it to Roy's house and hides there. Meanwhile, Nabil's store of weapons is discovered by the authorities. He is arrested and the police search for Nimr as an accomplice.

Unable to hide him forever, Roy convinces an underworld figure and client of his law firm to smuggle Nimr to France. Though he promises to meet him there in the future, Roy is arrested while distracting the police so Nimr can escape. Nimr makes it to his boat and sails away, unaware of what has happened to Roy.
