Jailed on Mount Carmel, al-Wahid recalls 1967, his family's expulsion from Ein Hawd, now the Israeli artists' village of Ein Hod, and the copy of their house his grandfather built in Nablus. Back from studies abroad after the old man's death, he is turned away from the family's former home by the artist living there, and the house's old stone plaque, found in a café, leads to a clash with the police.
