L'œuvre présente les efforts des Palestiniens habitant la ville et la région de Beit Sahour, en Cisjordanie, pour démarrer une petite industrie laitière locale au cours de la première Intifada, en cachant un troupeau de dix-huit vaches laitières aux forces de sécurité israéliennes qui considérait la production de laitages comme une menace pour la sécurité nationale d'Israël.

Portrecista (The Portraitist) examines the life and work of Wilhelm Brasse, who had been trained as a portrait photographer at his aunt's studio prior to World War II and passionately loved taking photographs. After his capture and imprisonment by the Nazis at Auschwitz concentration camp in 1940, at the age of 23, he was forced to take "identity pictures" of between approximately 40,000 to 50,000 other inmates between 1940 and 1945. With "courage and skill", documenting "cruelty which goes beyond all words ... for future generations", after his liberation at the end of World War II, Brasse "could not continue with his profession" and would never take another photograph.

In 1982, Ari Folman was a nineteen-year-old infantry soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In 2006, he meets with a friend from his army service period, who tells him of the nightmares connected to his experiences from the Lebanon War. Folman is surprised to find that he remembers nothing from that period. Later that night he has a vision from the night of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the reality of which he is unable to clearly recall. In his memory, he and his soldier comrades are bathing at night by the seaside in Beirut under the light of flares descending over the city.

Cherchant à percer le mystère de la création, le cinéaste se dit : «Pour savoir ce qui se passe dans la tête d'un peintre, il suffit de suivre sa main». Un habile stratagème lui permet de réaliser son projet insensé : par transparence, chaque trait tracé par la main du célèbre artiste apparaît dans l'espace. Mais l'exécution, par Pablo Picasso, de dessins et de tableaux, ne fait que gonfler davantage le mystère qui plane autour de lui : en effet, chacun des traits qu'il effectue étonne et déconcerte. Des toreros blessés et des nus sont ainsi créés, comme par magie, fruits d'un travail acharné qui connaît parfois quelques échecs.
