In 1989, during the First Intifada, a group of Israeli soldiers is sent to Gaza to monitor the Arab population. During a routine patrol, one of the soldiers is killed, hit by a washing machine thrown out of a window. Four young soldiers are then assigned to try and find the culprits. They move to the terrace of a Palestinian family, where they can observe the neighborhood’s every move, and try to find their place amid the surrounding chaos.
