On the outskirts of Tel Aviv, in an underground world, live hundreds of Palestinian workers who sleep in this hell in order to find a day’s work and bring money home to their families in the West Bank. This world is a parking garage of a mall under infrequent construction. Deep in the skeleton, six floors down, the workers sleep during the week. Jalal, 24 the film’s protagonist, must suffer in this hell in order to earn money to marry his fiance from Balata refugee camp. The worker’s worst nightmare is that the mall will be completed.
