沙朗姆是巴勒斯坦人,在八點檔《特拉維夫淪陷記》的片場擔任實習生。他每天都要經過一處十分刁難人的以色列檢查站前往片場,該處指揮官的老婆剛好是這齣戲的鐵粉,他因而貢獻了許多劇情想法,沙朗姆也順利受惠成為正式編劇。當劇走到最終集,以色列軍官與阿拉伯贊助人卻對結局想法大相逕庭,夾在中間的沙朗姆必須繳出傑作以解決問題。
Salam, an inexperienced young Palestinian man, becomes a writer on a popular soap opera after a chance meeting with an Israeli soldier. His creative career is on the rise - until the soldier and the show's financial backers disagree about how the show should end, and Salam is caught in the middle.
