SYNOPSIS:  A well-intentioned Arabic-Muslim handyman (Ala Dakka, “Beyond the Mountains and Hills") upends the day-to-day lives of the locals in a small Israeli village. Shortly after his arrival, a young woman is assaulted and the community quickly turns accusatory. His employer (Tzahi Grad, “Big Bad Wolves") is the only one who believes him, but even those loyalties are tested as more information and secrets are uncovered.
