Francis Alÿs' works usually reveal the conditions and important social, economic and political messages of areas in multiple different medias. This documentary shares the political strife that exists with the division of jerusalem as divide of people socially and spiritually, as well as questions its relevance in the Arab-Israeli conflict, represented through the green life left behind as he walked tracing the green line dividing the land on maps.
