Synopsis
On the outskirts of a Palestinian village, Fadi, a 25-year-old DJ, lives at the top of a hill overlooking a valley. His girlfriend, Sandy, a graffiti artist, frequently sneaks over to make love and bring him gas to fuel his makeshift DJ set. One day, Israeli settlers arrive on the other side of the valley, preparing to seize his home by force. Fadi must use the sounds of war to ward off intruders. However, each noise attack uses precious fuel. When Sandy arrives without gas, Fadi is left with few options to save his land.
