The Great Enemy: The train ride goes from the Iraqi-Syrian border to Aleppo, Syria. From there the train continues to Damascus and Amman (Jordan), until Aqaba, bordering Israel. This film portraits how travellers manage their relationship with their enemies, Israel and America. One traveller claims he does not want to be seen as a terrorist. The conductor praises Palestinian suicide bombers. Outside of the train is a portrait of Rana Husseini, a Jordanian journalist, who questions honour killings in her country and is therefore often accused of being pro-American.
