Smile, and The World Will Smile Back

Përshkrimi

Në një natë të ftohtë dhjetori, ushtarët izraelitë vijnë në shtëpinë e familjes al-Haddad në lagjen palestineze të Hebronit dhe trokasin në derë. Ata kanë ardhur për të bastisur shtëpinë. Diaa, djali adoleshent, merr kamerën e familjes. Derisa shtjellohet bastisja, një luftë e çuditshme force zhvillohet, vendosja e armës kundër kamerës. Nata bëhet më e ftohtë dhe ushtarët marrin Diaan jashtë dhe e urdhërojnë të kthehet me fytyrë nga muri. Ata nuk do të largohen derisa ai nuk ndalet së qeshuri.
