The Hilltop

On a rocky, beautiful hilltop stands Maaleh Hermesh C, a fledgling community flying under the radar. According to the government it doesnt exist; according to the military it must be defended. On this contested land, Othniel Assis - under the wary gaze of the neighboring Palestinian village installs his ever-expanding family. As Othniel manipulates government agencies, more settlers arrive and the outpost takes root. One of the settlements residents is Gabi Kupper. Gabis new life are thrown into turmoil with the sudden arrival of Roni, his prodigal brother. To the settlements dismay, Roni soon hatches a plan to sell the artisanal olive oil from the Palestinian village to Tel Aviv yuppies. When a curious Washington Post correspondent stumbles into their midst, Maaleh Hermesh C becomes the focus of an international diplomatic scandal.
