Newly discharged from the Israeli Army, Ra'ed, a Bedouin from an unrecognized village in the Negev desert, is determined to save his family's failing herd of sheep, about to be sold. He plans to live off the herd by starting a roadside Bedouin hospitality restaurant.

Kamel, a young Bedouin, is a proud security guard at the Be’er Sheba central bus station. When the Israeli government threatens to tear down his settlement he decides to act. Kamel comes up with a plan to stage a bomb attack, which he will then prevent from happening, making him the hero of the day, hopefully saving his settlement and earning him the respect he's so desperately yearning for.
