Khaled, a twelve-year-old Palestinian boy from a village near Ramallah, is pulled off the bus at a checkpoint during a school trip.

After being denied passage, Khaled manages to secretly cross the separation barrier between the Palestinian territories and Israel and finds himself in a foreign land not far from home. His longing to head out from the West Bank and see the sea for the first time in his life is compounded by curiosity and fear. Meanwhile, his father, who earns a living in Israel through unregistered odd jobs, sets out to find his lost son.
