Salma, a widow, who lives in a Palestinian village in the West Bank, takes care of her family’s lemon orchard. After the new Israeli defense minister moves in next door, on the other side of the green line, her lemon orchard is in danger of being cut down. The defense minister’s security has decided that her trees pose a security threat and are ordered to be uprooted. Salma enlists the help of a young lawyer and a tentative romance with him begins, as the two take their fight to the Israeli Supreme Court. The defence minster’s wife, who has become lonely as her husband’s political career has grown, feels drawn to Salma.
