Plot summary
After a tempest, fishermen do not find only fish in their nets. That is what happens to Jafaar, a poor fisherman who lives poorly in Gaza. And what he hauls in is really upsetting: imagine that, a pig! An unclean animal judged impure not only by the Faith of Islam but also by the Jewish religion. Determined to get rid of the animal, Jafaar tries desperately to sell it, first to a United Nations official, then to a Jewish colony where Yelena raises pigs not for their meat but for security reasons. Of course, going unnoticed in the company of a "forbidden" animal, among his Palestinian brothers, past Israeli soldiers and under the scrutiny of Islamic fundamentalists is no bed of roses and a series of misadventures await Jafaar.

Between farce and drama a movie that makes laugh and think
Surprisingly good
This is movie that exceeded my expectation. It's a comedy that sometimes makes you roll on the floor laughing. But beyond that it touches so well on a tabu subject. Not only that pigs cannot be eaten but they can't even touch the ground in Israel and Palestina. So what do you do when you find one? Definitely worth watching.
