Synopsis

Bananas are grown in the north of Israel and destined for Gaza Strip. They make
their journey south through the Israeli landscape and cross the separation wall to
reach the Palestinian neighbors. How do the merchants on two sides of the divide
manage to work together? Who profits and who loses in this cooperation and what
the bananas must go through before they reach their destination?
