What sort of implications and what kind of thoughts could be triggered merely by signing an online petition for the cultural boycott of Israel? Should Radiohead appear at their scheduled Tel Aviv gig or should they support the boycott? A telephone conversation between two friends – only voices, no faces at all – brings up a series of thorny issues. A Danish-Palestinian director investigates the effectiveness of today’s political actions, tests the boundaries between art and activism, and embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
