Tamer is the son of a revolutionary killed in Beirut in the 70's and Salma is a Palestinian girl from Nazareth living in the West Bank. After 5 years of marriage, they receive permission to enter Israel... only to get a divorce. Upon reaching the court, they are told that Tamer's father (who is dead) still has residence in the country and they need to find his former partner, an Iraqi Jewish woman, in order to finalise their divorce.
