Résumé
Indiqué sur la jaquette : Ameer Abu Ria is about to go to the army. His father expects him to continue the family tradition and enlist in the Israeli defense forces, as his grandfather, father and uncles have done. As opposed to the majority of 18 years old boys in Israel, for whom army service is mandatory, Ameer is exempt from military service under the assumption that his enlistment might endanger Israel' security. That is because Ameer, an Israeli citizen, is a Moslem Arab. And yet, Ameer has decided to volunteer. The fact that his home town, Sakhnin, is a place known for deadly clashes between discriminated Arab citizens and Israel's armed forces-doesn't make his life any easier. He is considered an anemy, a fifth columnist in these eyes of Israeli jews and a traitor of the worst kind in the eyes of Arab citizens ; the kind who turns against his own brothers.
