SynopsisCreditsLanguagesProductionSalesIDF EventsFestivals
Jenin refugee camp. On November 5th, 2005, 12-year-old Ahmed Khatib was shot by an Israeli soldier whilst playing with a plastic gun. Despite his grief the father, Ismael, decides to donate his son's organs to Israeli children. Four of those, each from a different part of Israel's diverse society, are alive today thanks to Ismael Khatib's courageous act.
The film reconstructs the tragic events around the shooting, and accompanies Ismael on a journey to visit the organ recipients: Mohammad, a Bedouin boy in the Negev Desert; Samah, a Druse teenager in the North of Israel; and Menuha, daughter of an Orthodox family in Jerusalem.
