They encouraged her independence. They let her speak. They thought no one would listen. But her questions could bring down the country.

A morally complex legal and political drama that traces one woman's ideological awakening as she confronts the human cost of national sovereignty.

Israeli attorney Hanna Kaufman's beliefs are challenged when she's appointed to the defense of Selim Bakri. Kaufman, born in the United States to survivors of the Holocaust, has always accepted Israel's right to exist. However, she bears witness to some of its sovereign costs when she meets Bakri, a dispossessed Palestinian man facing serious criminal charges who wants the same thing as his supposed enemies: to reclaim his family home.
