- Synopsis
- The film is about two Palestinian brothers. Samy is 30 years old and Milad, known as “stereo”, in his forties, are planning to immigrate to Canada after an Israeli air force bombing of their family home.
  Following the attack Samy became mute and deaf and Stereo lost his wife.
  Through the immigration project, the two brothers are hoping to reconstruct their lives.
  Sami’s fiancée « Laila » is totally against her man’s departure and is trying to hold him back by any means necessary but without any success. Sami and Milad decided that they will definitely leave Palestine and its hardship.
  After his wife’s death, “Stereo” Milad gives up his prior life as a wedding singer. He is completely disillusioned and disgusted by life in Palestine.
  In order to pay for the travel, they decide to buy a second hand sound system that they will rent for all kind of events in Ramallah: Weddings, funerals, demonstrations, and political meetings.
  As they move on, the film tells about the absurdity of life in Palestine, using derision and without complacency, showing a wide range of situations both comical and desperate.
