A U.S. military jet crashes in a mountainous country torn by civil war. The pilot is discovered by villagers and restrained by rebel forces who see him as both a threat and an opportunity.
Their fear, greed, resentment, fascination and love for the pilot all become factors as they struggle to determine what is to be done with him. A beautifully complex, personal and poignant portrayal of how the U.S. is perceived by the rest of the world.
