Merging personal testimony, archival imagery, and realities on the ground, the film traces the life of the orchard, tended across three generations, and its eventual total destruction by occupying military forces, beginning with the early years of the Second Intifada in 2003, then culminating in 2009. Through poetic narration and still images, past and present, \u003ci\u003eBayyaratina\u003c/i\u003e evokes both beauty and rupture rooted in soil and exile.

De film combineert persoonlijke getuigenissen, archiefbeelden en de realiteit ter plaatse. Zo volgt hij het leven van de boomgaard, die drie generaties lang werd onderhouden, maar uiteindelijk compleet werd vernietigd door de bezettingsmacht, een proces dat aanving in de beginjaren van de Tweede Intifada in 2003, en eindigde in 2009.
