Synopsis: When a Palestinian film crew decides to avoid a closed checkpoint by taking a remote side road, the political landscape unravels: the passengers are separated from each other by the mundane brutality of military occupation. Both a visual poem and a narrative, LIKE TWENTY IMPOSSIBLES wryly explores artistic responsibility and the politics of film making, while documenting the fragmentation of a people.
