Salam, a charming 30-year-old Palestinian living in East Jerusalem, works as an intern on a popular soap opera « Tel Aviv on Fire » in which a Palestinian female spy has a love affair with an Israeli General in 1967. Every day, he has to pass by a check-point to reach the studio. At the checkpoint he meets Assi, the checkpoint commander, whose wife is a huge fan of the soap. In order to impress her, Assi gets involved in the writing of the show. Salam soon understands that Assi’s creative vision can get him a promotion as a screenwriter, at least until Assi and the show’s producer's start disagreeing on how it should all end, leaving Salam uncomfortably caught in the middle…
