Tarek, a young Arab man, is sent by the Tanzim terrorist group from Tulkarem to Tel Aviv on a suicide mission. In the Carmel Market, he mingles among the shoppers, but the bomb he is wearing fails to explode. He is forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv among the people living in the market. He is hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Katz, an elderly electrician and his wife, who lost their soldier son. Across the street, he meets Karen, a young woman who left the ultra-orthodox world of her family. Together, Tarek and Karen find comfort in their relationship and reveal their difficult life stories to one another. Gradually, the reasons that brought Tarek, a talented footballer on his way to becoming a professional player, to become a suicide bomber, emerge. Karen tells him of the circumstances that led her to live alone, far from the home where she was raised. Tarek becomes a part of Karen’s life and that of the Katz family. Through them, he is exposed to a side of Israeli society unfamiliar to him, to joy and sorrow, to beauty and violence. The entire time, the explosive device remains strapped to his body, attached to a cellular phone through which his dispatchers can explode it at any moment. Tarek knows that when the weekend ends, he will have to make the decision of his life.
