Synopsis
Following a prophetic dream about his late grandfather, Prosper, the film’s protagonist, sets out with his family and neighbors on a pilgrimage to the Baba Sali’s annual Hilula in Netivot. But when a wrong turn lands them deep in the heart of Gaza, they are kidnapped.
While the captives try every neighborhood trick to escape, local criminals back home devise a rescue plan. Just as they manage to overpower their captors and prepare to flee, an unexpected childbirth by one of the kidnappers’ wives throws everything into chaos again.
Will they make it to the Hilula after all?
