Lea Tsemel, a 72-year-old Israeli lawyer, has been defending Palestinians for half a century. According to her colleagues, she defends the indefensible. For justice, she does her work as a lawyer and attempts to re-establish a balance between law and politics. Behind the scenes of two recent major cases, she shares her thoughts with her Palestinian colleague Tareq Barghout at her side. Archival footage and interviews paint the portrait of a lawyer who always fights for peace. A withering look at legal proceedings in Israel.
