Note: Director: Ido Haar 2006. Israel. 78 min. Hebrew/Arabic (English subtitles). In Israels occupied territories, thousands of Palestinians slip through the predawn darkness over highways, through traffic and across the border to work clandestinely in Israel everyday. In this powerful verite film, more personal than political, filmmaker Ido Haar explores the relationships that form between a group of Palestinian men who make an arduous and dangerous journey, loaded with blankets and bags, to find employment. Building luxury condominiums by day, and hiding in makeshift tents to avoid the authorities at night, they share food, friendship, nostalgia and an uncompromising urge to survive.
