The 60-year-old bachelor Issa leads a quiet, lonely life as a simple fisherman in the port of Gaza. He is secretly in love with the widow Siham, whom he observes daily at her market stall where she works as a seamstress. His courtship, however, is so hidden and slow that little progress is made. But when one day an unusual catch comes into his net, the quiet life is over. An antique statue of Apollo with a highly visible erect penis throws the fisherman into chaos. Such an obscene figure calls the Gaza Strip's morality police into action. Issa has to step up a gear to free himself from the clutches of the authorities and at the same time finally get his love life under control. A charming, witty comedy about the great power of late love.
