Darwish, an Arab-Israeli teenager in Jaffa, is struggling to figure out his place in the world. Estranged from his conservative Muslim father, and squatting on a dilapidated boat, he dreams of a new start abroad away from Arab-Israeli conflict. His new passport presents him with a decision: stay in a familiar restrictive world, or venture out into the unknown.
