IIn Israel and Palestine, the road to peace is a steep climb. How do you overcome decades of fear and bloodshed? How do you combat current events that tear both sides even farther apart? For two activists, one Israeli and one Palestinian, the challenges seem insurmountable, and yet they try to see and understand the humanity in "the other", forge connections that promote empathy, understanding and, in their wildest hopes, Peace. Hotel Everest is their story. From the Producer/Director of the Ghosts of the Third Reich.

A military ambulance is called to evacuate a seriously wounded young soldier and bring him to a helicopter pad where he will be taken to hospital. Aboard the ambulance is a staff of three young soldiers, one of whom is Karen, a young female paramedic on her first tour of duty. Faced with life and death decisions in the ambulance, Karen will either succeed in bringing her emotions and fears under control - or fail, and be responsible for the death of a fellow soldier.
