Lemon Tree is an allegory of Israeli-Palestinian strife.  Salma Zidane (portrayed by Hiam Abbass) earns a meager living from a lemon grove on the Green Line separating Israel from the occupied territories of the West Bank.  The grove has been in Salma's family for half a century.  Her life is turned upside down when the Israeli Defense minister and his wife move into a fancy new house that abuts the grove.  A watchtower is constructed and Salma receives notice from Israeli military authorities that the grove poses a "security threat" and the trees must be uprooted.  Thus begins an escalating war of words and wills.
