Overview

The Israeli-Palestinian question is here addressed through the lens of the mother-daughter conflict faced by filmmaker Danae Elon. Settled on an isolated farm in Israel, her mother, Beth, must move to Montreal, but she clings to her past life as an activist alongside her now-deceased husband, while her daughter wants to leave behind her military past and the decisions that led her to reject her country, as her parents did before her. This exploration of her family history leads her to a reevaluation of her relationship with Israel.
