Almost a thousand years ago, in what is now northern Israel, a Muslim army defeated the Crusaders, ending their rule in the Holy Land. In 2021, amidst social turmoil and anti-government protests, Gennady Nizhnik, a historical reenactor, embarks on a journey away from the present and into the past. The journey winds through the scorching Galilee, weaving between fact and fiction, between modern Israel and an imagined Holy Land, in an attempt to relive the very defeat that changed the course of Middle Eastern history—a defeat whose bloody echoes can still be heard today.
