Scene 1:
Camera pans to Mrs. Sahouri and her two children with carry on luggage approaching a crowded, passport control at Ben-Gurion Airport: an Israeli flag on a wall nearby passport control is visible in the pan.
Then, after passport control and ensuing dialogue: mother and two children are led into an interrogation room down narrow, dimly-lit corridors of the airport with children panned sitting in chairs outside of the interrogation room while mother is led into the room.
Muffled dialogue of the interrogation is heard by children outside of the room with door closed and visibly displayed by the crying, distraught children: 14 and 16 years old.
Outside of the Ben-Gurian airport interrogation room, pan is on son and daughter sitting in tears about their mother in the interrogation room when the son rises and bursts into the room.
Son says piece to soldiers interrogating his mother to the reproach of his mother initially, then acquiescence to allow her son to say his piece to the soldiers.
Children are led away crying looking back after their mother.
Mother is led away from the interrogation room to a waiting police vehicle for prison after being told that she would be going to a nice room to await Jordanian Air officials to be on time, if on time, at 6am and that it would cost her cash. Otherwise, it would be deportation via Air France back to the USA at 8am without her children who are sent along through Ben-Gurian checkpoint to Palestine on their own.
Scene 2:
A visibly despairing mother is panned being led into a filthy prison and cell and ensuing interrogation dialogue upon being led up to the prison gate and reiterated dialogue in the prison cell about Jordanian Air and Air France and cash after a strip search of Mrs. Sahouri by a female prison guard.
Scene 3:
Flashback pans to Michigan of Mrs. Sahouri and two children leaving Michigan for an over night flight from New York City to Paris on the way to Tel-Aviv's Ben-Gurion for transit to Palestine with two children and mother riding in father/husband's vehicle to a Michigan airport.
Ensuing readiness for travel dialogue takes place between the wife, husband and children to benefit the children while riding in the vehicle that the husband drives to the Michigan airport. Hugs good-bye and last words with husband/father, Mrs. Sahouri and the two children at a Michigan airport who pass through security turning back to wave to their father and Mrs. Sahouri waving a last time to her husband disappearing into a crowd at the other side of security.
Camera pans to JFK international airport customs and lounge and Mrs. Sahouri and her two children board a plane for Paris. Further preparedness dialogue occurs between Mrs. Sahouri and her two children about being Palestinian going through Israel and Mrs. Sahouri's previous trips through Ben-Gurion amidst other dialogue of mannerisms and that the children are to follow her direction on the trip.
Camera pans to two children sleeping peacefully sitting next to their mother on an over night flight from JFK to Paris for an eight hour layover in Paris and onto Ben-Gurion.
Time lapse in layover scene at Charles De Gualle Airport, Paris with a French flag draped in the airport visible in the pan: then, the three board another plane first passing through security in Paris.
Scene 4:
Camera pans to mother being led out of prison visibly in a weakened physical and mental state of mind for a waiting police vehicle on her way back to Ben-Gurion from prison the morning after being detained out of the interrogation room in Tel-Aviv to paying $270 at 6am with a receipt of $20 to show for it and ensuing dialogue between Mrs. Sahouri and soldiers at the Jordanian Air ticket counter about the $20 receipt when Mrs Sahouri pays $270 in cash for the ticket to Jordan in order to be able to join her family in Palestine.
Scene 5:
Camera shows an emaciated Mrs. Sahouri at the Jordanian border crossing with Israel clipping through a taxi ride from Amman to the border crossing on a hot day and no air conditioning in the taxi.
Camera shows Mrs. Sahouri sitting in a VIP lounge at the Jordanian-Israeli crossing with hundreds of other Palestinians, Jordanians and Arabic speaking people (buses and taxis lined up for miles outside) when Mrs. Sahouri asks for a paramedic and receives orange juice which she cannot drink in her state after a delay in medical attention by soldiers who repeatedly question her saying to her that she cannot cross the border when Mrs. Sahouri asks for a paramedic not having had nourishment for three days and saying so to a soldier in the VIP room at the border so that soldiers call in a paramedic.
Mrs. Sahouri is told that she cannot cross at that border to her protest as to what she was told at Ben-Gurion being in direct contradiction to what she is told at the Jordanian-Israeli crossing in that she was told at Ben-Gurion that she could cross at the Jordanian-Israeli border (not at Ben-Gurion), which is why she purchased the ticket to Amman from Ben-Gurian for $270 and took a taxi to the Jordanian-Israeli border costing her a lot of money.
Dialogue ensues with Mrs. Sahouri dry heaving, blood pressure and pulse being taken after asking for a paramedic and then being led ten minutes later to an Israeli-Durzi, Arabic speaking captain in the Israeli army whom she is told has allowed her access to his office down a corridor of the border post from the VIP room where Mrs. Sahouri had to pay extra to be allowed into the VIP room filled with other travelers who have a lot of crying children with them and for whom she is sympathetic exchanging words with one of the families sitting nearby.
(No pan of Israeli-Durzi captain's office or dialogue. Dialogue description follows in Scene 6).
Scene 6:
Mrs. Sahouri is riding with her sister and mother in a car who come to the Jordanian-Israeli border to pick up their relative. A visibly smiling Mrs. Sahouri, upon seeing her mother and sister pick her up in juxtaposition to her weeping mother, ride in the back seat of a vehicle with a man driver driving the vehicle to their home in Palestine.
Ensuing dialogue occurs between Mrs. Sahouri, her sister and mother riding in the vehicle as to conversations between family members (husband in Michigan and Mrs. Sahouri's naturalized, US citizen sister in Palestine) and the US Embassy about how the embassy in Jerusalem and a Congressman from Michigan said that they could not do anything for a Palestinian born, naturalized, American citizen in the State of Israel, but that if her children had been detained being American born: the embassy could have exercised diplomatic channels.
Intermixed dialogue by Mrs. Sahouri about her harrowing experience and Mrs. Sahouri telling of the seemingly compassionate, Israeli-Durzi captain who spoke perfect Arabic at the Jordanian-Israeli crossing and who called Mrs. Sahouri's family for them to pick her up after not finding anything in his records to suspect any seeming, foul play on Mrs. Sahouri's part ensues on the ride from the Jordanian-Israeli crossing to Mrs. Sahouri's Palestinian home with her family while Mrs. Sahouri, her mother and sister ride in the back seat of a vehicle.
Scene 7:
A joyous reunion with family, Mrs. Sahouri, two children and cousins at a compound in Palestine with a Palestinian flag visible is panned. A Palestinian flag is either painted on a wall nearby the reunion or an actual cloth flag at the door of the family abode is panned. Supper is served with Mrs. Sahouri and family in Palestine at dusk on the third day of travel from Ben-Gurion through Amman.
A time lapse of Mrs. Sahouri's visit with family in Palestine is filler up to her departure date back to the USA with dialogue between family members during the visit of an alternative route for the return trip to the USA besides through Tel-Aviv's Ben-Gurion Airport.
Scene 8:
Pan of a return trip to Michigan via an alternative route besides through Tel-Aviv's Ben-Gurion Airport: perhaps Jordanian Air from Amman through Paris to New York City and onto Michigan with a husband, wife and two children reunion at a Michigan airport showing the ride home and house in Michigan where Mrs. Sahouri lives.
An American flag is on display at the house where Mrs. Sahouri lives that the husband visibly takes down upon her return at dusk in Michigan and dialogue by Mrs. Sahouri telling her husband about how she feels to be a Palestinian-American after the US Embassy did nothing for her in Israel, but everywhere else in the world besides Israel: the US Embassy would respect her rights as a US citizen.
