How far I can go 
The portrait of three women between the poles set by the ideological and real frontiers of their countries: Palestine and Israel. 
Maha Nassar, a Palestinian living in Ramallah, Nitza Aminov, an Israeli living in Jerusalem, Afnann Eghbaria, a Palestinian living in Haifa. 
With great openness these women talk about their political convictions and personal experiences. Against the backdrop of the social reality in their countries and their life situation they reflect on questions of identity, frontiers, family, time, living and dying. The film unfolds an open structure moving the focus from specific political statements to universal and existential questions of life. Within a discourse characterized by fixed ideological attributions repeated over and over again, the film’s focus on the personal comments by three socially and politically active women offers a resonating space for reflections on simple attributions which place the blame on others. Nevertheless one thing becomes apparent: “Everything is political”, as Nitza Aminov points out, in any case here, but certainly not only in Israel and Palestine. 

The negation of a claim to objectivity is also emphasized in the work of the camera: Although the interviewer is not shown directly, she is included through the protagonist’s direction of sight and her position in the image – the dialogue is emphasized, not hidden. The absence of music, the deliberate use of silence and jump cuts create the space for the viewers to let linger what they have seen and heard and at the same time throw them back onto themselves.
