Thirteen-year-old Hayaat is on a mission. She believes a handful of soil
from her grandmother's ancestral home in Jerusalem will save her beloved
Sitti Zeynab's life. The only problem is the impenetrable wall that
divides the West Bank, as well as the checkpoints, the curfews, the
permit system and Hayaat's best friend Samy, who is mainly interested in
football and the latest elimination on X-Factor, but always manages to
attract trouble. But luck is on their side. Hayaat and Samy have a
curfew-free day to travel to Jerusalem. However, while their journey may
only be a few kilometres long, it may take a lifetime to complete.
