1991: During a sadly brief period of peace in Israel/Palestine, two students from Vienna film material for a short film. Though pleased with the material they are unable to edit it satisfactorily.
2005: Fourteen years later they return to the project and over a period of three years, a kaleidoscopic parable of East and West emerges.

In the form of a taxi journey with flashbacks, the film relates of the encounter between an anonymous Englishman and the Arab woman Sahar and of the circumstances that lead to Sahar having to leave the country of her birth.

The foreign visitor's arrival precipitates speculation and mystery as to his purpose in the country. The roles projected onto him range from that of romantic poet to political agent.

At the same time, Sahar's own position is becoming increasingly insecure and she realises that she is trapped in a male dominated world as imprisoning and rigid as the one represented by the Englishman.
