[2] The story takes place in the high-security block of the Central Israel Prison Service jail.

After a musical performance in the prison, a row breaks out between Hoffman, a Jewish inmate, and a Palestinian.

When Hoffman is killed, the security officer initiates a fight between the sides, pinning the blame for the murder on Issam's cell.

Doron, the only Jewish prisoner in the Arab cell, is asked to sign a document implicating Issam in the crime but refuses and dies by suicide.

As a result, Uri and Issam begin a general hunger strike and make personal sacrifices in order not to break it.
