A secret museum in an art hotel sparks intrigue when it's revealed to be a creation of controversial artist, Banksy. Through creative resistance, the hotel highlights the reality of life under Israeli military occupation. The film journeys through the hotel, Palestine, and a relevant past to dismantle the mainstream media's bias towards the Palestinian struggle for freedom and equality.
