The daily struggle of residents of the Hassan Arfa compound – a neglected enclave in the heart of Tel Aviv – in the process of being demolished for the construction of new towers. Misha builds a raft in an attempt to flee the country, following an old debt. Homeless Isaac possesses encyclopaedic knowledge. Andrei, a respected graphic designer in the USSR, is now addicted to the “Nice Guy” drug. Attay, a metalworker, receives an eviction order but refuses to leave. Their battered existence erodes in front of the camera, and like a neglected town in the Wild West – money, principles, and despair meet for one final duel.
