Plot

Hatari, a provocative techno-punk performance art group known for their pro-Palestinian and anti-capitalist stance, attracted significant attention during the Icelandic qualifiers for Eurovision. Their victory secured them a spot at the main event in Tel Aviv, but they face a moral dilemma. Should they boycott the competition, compromise their principles, or leverage their platform to protest against Israel's occupation of Palestine? Accompanied by Icelandic director Anna Hildur, the band navigates these complex choices leading up to the pivotal performance, grappling with the implications of their art in a politically charged atmosphere.
