When Irmy, a soon-to-be-dad comedian goes to his own father asking for money, he finds out that his only inheritance is a tiny piece of land in the occupied Palestinian territories. To make things worse, he also finds out that extreme-right-winged Jewish settlers have settled in his land and made a winery out of it. Together with his father, Irmy wages war on the settlers, army, and Israeli government and demands his land back! What begins as a personal quest to recover this contested piece of real estate quickly evolves into a humorous activist adventure that exposes the mechanisms of the occupation.
