Private Project

Adam

Three junior police officers are assigned to transport a Palestinian, an illegal alien who was just released from hospital, to the checkpoint. What seemed to be a simple task turns out to be a very complicated one, when they realize that the Palestinian is seriously injured and that no one is willing to take responsibility. They try to find solutions but the lack of co-operation and indifference of all Authorities lead to their increasing frustration and to a tragic ending (based on a true story).
