Synopsis

Aart Verschueren is a young Belgian journalist, who specialises in criminal court cases for a local newspaper. He takes little or no interest in other topics,and certainly not foreign news. That changes when he starts a relationship with a young woman of Eastern European Jewish descent. The story of her origin greatly impresses him. At about the same time, he meets a Palestinian refugee. He learns a lot about the background of this Palestinian, who appears to have a turbulent family history. Although these two new friends are unrelated, they seem to have an aversion towards each other. Aart decides to conceal his relationships with each of them, to avoid confrontation. When his new girlfriend asks him to travel to Israel to perform an extraordinary favor for her family, he agrees to do so. When he tells his other new friend that he has to go to Israel for the newspaper, the Palestinian also asks Aart for a favor. So Aart leaves for Tel Aviv. He meets the families of both "clients," and gets to know a lot more about their lives and the problems they are facing. But then Aart disappears... When this happens, his fate takes a sinister turn, and ultimately what happens to him exposes a plot of shocking proportions.
