Karim, a young Arab from Lod, works for the Execution Office's Customer Service, and lives among drug dealers in the Middle East drug capital, but dreams of being a musician. The plot takes place in Lod and the character of Karim is based on the Palestinian rapper Tamer Nafar (who also plays his role), and who wrote the screenplay with Oren Moverman, as well as composed the music for the film (along with Itamar Ziegler of the ''Balkan Beat Box'').
