Abstract

The film is about three Palestinians who tried to escape their poor conditions and wanted to travel to Kuwait to look for a job. Because of the difficulty to obtain a visa, they made an agreement with an entrepreneur who took them there in a container. In the Iraqi-Kowetian borders, they died inside the container because of the desert's heat. The film tells this story and presents both the political and social conditions of these Palestinians.
