Two West Bank teen agers who, along with a group of other young Palestinians, are invited by an NGO to spend a day at the beach – in Israel. Although they live nearby, an impenetrable barrier has always made it impossible for them to go there. Is this trip a fantasy or a window on the future? For Wafaa and Raneen the sea is just 40 kilometers away from their house in the West Bank, but the two 12 year old girls don’t have permits to cross the border into Israel. This changes when a group of peace activists organize a day trip to the coast of Tel Aviv. Wafaa is excited about her first visit to Israel, a country she has only ever heard stories about. Raneen, however, will not accompany her, as she has often experienced violent clashes between Israeli soldiers and people from her village.
