A production assistant on a Palestinian soap opera starts contributing script ideas with the not-always-welcome help of an Israeli checkpoint officer. A comedy that doesn't try to shortchange the ongoing horror in Palestine, but uses its underlying absurdity as a backdrop for laughs. The Palestinians are good at this. They have to be. They have no choice. The word "explosive" gets a real workout here.
