This is a true story of an unusual encounter between Ilanit Satika and Ahmad Dabash, both victims of the housing regulations in Jerusalem. Ahmad met Ilanit, a single mother, on the day she and her four children were evicted from their home after she failed to meet her mortgage payments. Ahmad, who happened to be passing by, invited Ilanit to stay in his home in Sur Baher. Over his house looms the threat of demolition, as Ahmad was forced to build his home without a building permit in order to provide a roof over his family's head. The movie presents the connection that developed between two second-class citizens, through a personal encounter that crossed barriers, removed fences and changed stereotypes.
