Starting in 1999 director Gil Karni followed this Israeli-Palestinian fishing co-operatiive, creating a "filmed diary".  The film records the peaceful relationship between the fishermen during the Al-Aktsa Intifada and the new Palestinian uprising which was the cause of the disappearance of the Palestinian inhabitants of the region.  The tracking ends with the evacuation of the settlement, its destruction and the departure of its residents to a new life.

We can sympathize with the feelings of the non-religious fishermen of Dugit as they see their dream of co-existence destroyed.  Man, nature and environment are hostages, like pieces of a cynical chess game, in the hands of leaders, politicians and military men. Director Gil Karni relates that the film reflects "the changes in my personal way of thinking, which occurred when faced with the events of that region during the six years that I was in a close relationship with the people".
