Megido
Megiddo is the largest security prison in the world, a microcosm of the painful experience of the two nations.
The fates of Benny, the tough prison commander, and Abdal Basat, the leader of Hamas, are intertwined in one another, depending on common or conflicting interests, all in order to fulfill the yearnings they have, each to his own “freedom”. Their opposing world views lead to a constant struggle while each one strives for a way to survive the prison routine.
