In close proximity and yet without any points of contact: In the West Bank, Israeli settlers and Palestinian farmers live next door to each other - and yet in separate worlds. Omar takes his Palestinian family from their town house to the barren slopes of Mount Hebron, where they are supposed to help look after his sheep farm. The Jewish settler Avidan has settled in the immediate vicinity with a group of like-minded people in order to raise sheep in the desolate land. Avner Faingulernt documents these hermetic worlds in a radical but logical form: as two separate films that only unfold their full effect when viewed as a diptych.
