 Noam, Lulu, and Yali, three young Israelis, live the bohemian life in the coastal party city Tel Aviv. But everything changes when Noam falls in love with Ashraf, a gay Palestinian man, whom the roommates take in. Ashraf must live a lie and pretend to be a Jew while living illegally with his lover and friends. The lives of the group change as they are faced with the challenges of being openly gay and of hiding a love that stretches across the Israeli-Palestinian divide. Can love truly conquer all?
