Storyline
Jafaar, a Palestinian fisherman, is astonished when he finds a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig tangled up in his net. He has to get rid of the impure animal fast, before the authorities find out, but he can’t resist the opportunity to make some quick money.
When a local UN official refuses to buy the pig, Jafaar finds a way to exploit his new friend’s reproductive abilities in the most unexpected of places.
