Desperate for money to pay off his debts and improve life for his wife Fatima, Jafaar begins a bizarre and dangerous trade. He strikes a deal with Yelena, a young Russian-Israeli settler who raises pigs for "security" (to prevent entry into the settlement) but lacks a male for breeding. Jafaar begins selling her the pig's semen, leading to a series of hilarious and increasingly perilous encounters with Israeli soldiers, Palestinian militants, and his own suspicious neighbors.
