Synopsis:

Set during the Gulf War, the film focuses on disturbed high schooler Mohamad who, early on in the film is suspended from school for spying on girls through a hole in the wall.

As the film progresses, Mohamad’s teacher agrees to instruct him for free because he is attracted to his mother.
