Plot

At a private oil factory on the outskirts of Jerusalem, dozens of workers labor under poor conditions and face humiliating treatment. Beneath the surface, tensions are simmering and a protest is brewing. Under the auspices of the Histadrut labor federation, the workers are demanding the establishment of a committee to represent them faithfully. The organization threatens the factory management, and its aggressive and contemptuous attitude toward the workers escalates. Their legitimate demands are rejected outright and their dignity is trampled upon. The workers' helplessness in the face of management's insensitivity leads to the outbreak of a violent strike at the factory gates, from which there is no turning back.
