Chased by the Israeli army, two Bedouin cousins smuggle Palestinian migrant workers through the Negev desert in an intimate portrait of men living on the edge.
The southern West Bank with its beautiful landscapes is home to many Palestinian Bedouins. In their midst, Israelis have built highly fortified settlements cutting them from their lands, leaving them with no other possibility but to work as migrant workers in Israel. In 2012, we started filming two Bedouin cousins smuggling workers with their jeeps into Israel - young gangsters, modern-day versions of Robin Hood. Years later the situation has become so difficult that one decided to quit. He opened his own construction business, but one night in 2016, he got a phone call asking him to cross the border once more. The very next day he was arrested by special forces under suspicion of aiding an ISIS-attack. The documentary spans an arch from the easy-going days of 2012 to the unbearable hardships during the Third Intifada, portraying two cousins in their struggle for independence in a world getting more dangerous day-by-day.
