Delbert, Bill, Lyman et Roscoe Ward vivent depuis toujours dans la même ferme de quarante hectares, au milieu de l'état de New-York. Ils ont entre cinquante-neuf ans et soixante et onze ans. Célibataires naïfs et presque illettrés, ils occupent deux pièces dans une cabane délabrée, sans eau courante, ni téléphone. Depuis leur enfance, Delbert et Bill partagent le même lit. La nuit du 6 juin 1990, Bill est retrouvé mort dans son lit. Le matin, Delbert est arrêté ; il a avoué le meurtre de Bill par étouffement. Pendant dix mois, il clame son innocence malgré ses premiers aveux. Les 499 habitants de Munnsville pensent que Delbert a signé un document qu'il ne savait pas lire. Ils organisent sa défense et récoltent 10 000 dollars pour le faire libérer sous caution. Le procès s'ouvre le 18 Mars 1991.

Paths of lives are crossed in one village in the West Bank. Along the broken water pipelines, villagers walk on their courses towards an indefinite future. Israel that controls the water, supplies only a small amount of water, and when the water streams are not certain nothing can evolve. The control over the water pressure not only dominates every aspect of life but also dominates the spirit. Bil-in, without spring water, is one of the first villages of the West Bank where a modern water infrastructure was set up. Many villagers took it as a sign of progress, others as a source of bitterness. The pipe-water was used to influence the people so they would co-operate with Israel’s intelligence. The rip tore down the village. Returning to the ancient technique of collecting rainwater-using pits could be the villagers’ way to express independence but the relations between people will doubtfully be healed.
