From April 1999 to February 2001, director Simone Bitton followed Bishara through his parliamentary work, his electoral campaigns, and the dissemination of his ideas about citizenship and democracy.

From the moment of his birth, man's time is limited. The Israeli's time is far more limited, but he attempts to accomplish twice as much, pursued by a glorious past, an uncertain future and a dubious present. Israeli time is as fleeting as "wait a sec," as reliable as "just a moment," as relaxed as "what's your hurry," as close to eternity as "Hebron Forever," as hopeful about the present as "Peace Now," as lazy about the future as "it'll be OK." Perhaps it simply doesn't exist? The treatment of time in the film is not academic, but experiential. --www.jewishfilms.com
