Film synopsis: Mohammed, a young Palestinian, is desperately looking for a taxi that will allow him to cross a checkpoint to join his mother who is waiting for him on the Israeli side to accompany her to Jaffa, near Tel Aviv. Farouk, the taxi driver, hesitates because the young man does not have a pass but only a European resident student card. Arrived at the checkpoint, Farouk discovers that Mohammed has already tried to cross another checkpoint through Qalandia without success... The trouble begins...
