The Reports on Sarah and Saleem

The café of the Israeli Sarah from West Jerusalem is supplied by Saleem, a Palestinian from East Jerusalem. Although they are worlds apart and both are married, they start an affair, risking everything that is important to them. When one of their risky nightly meetings goes wrong and they threaten to be exposed, they try with all their might to save what is left of their previous life. But they must watch helplessly as their frantic efforts escalate things further. Under the pressure of the occupation machinery and the socio-political environment, they are caught in a web of lies.
