- The film reveals the story of the Jaradis, a Jewish Yemenite family, one of many that were brought from Yemen to the US by the Ultra orthodox Satmar Community which operates a propaganda machine against the immigration to Israel. The story exposes a deep cultural gap between the Yemenite families and the Yiddish Satmar Community that became distractive and tragic to families who have traveled thousands of miles to an entirely different planet of their own, with strange rules, norms, morals and lifestyles. Still in Yemen, Yemenite Jewish families are brainwashed by skillful missionaries, unable to defend themselves in the eye of this intricate and deceptive operation. The film follows the life of Yahia and Lauza Jaradi who were brought from Yemen into the Satmar Community.

- "The Last Enemy" tells the story of a group of nine Palestinian, Israeli and Jordanian actors who work on a play that was written especially for them by the American Playwright Jim Mirioene.

- "Zugaim Dama" ["Queens Up"] is a story about an unequal match in a tough male environment. Somewhere around the northern boundaries of Israel, in an adjutancy office of a quite sleepy military base, on an especially wintry Saturday night - three "desk-jockeys" who remain on weekend duty - are playing Poker. In the course of the poker game it turns out who is weak, who's even weaker and who's the weakest among three: Green, the NCO (non-commissioned officer) who is only three months before his release from the army, has a weakness for money, and poker is the best way he knows to earn it. Dudu, the cook, is about to sign standing army just like his father; He has a weakness for paternal figures, that's why he hangs after Green. And the weakest soldier of the base, Mano, the gate-keeper, has an artificial eye, and he's just came out of basic training, so he's an easy prey for everyone. After a few rounds of poker, Mano confesses that he can't pay the money he owes, so Green makes him a twisted offer: if Mano can't bet on money, why couldn't he bet on his glass-eye. From now on the card game becomes nerve-racking, until the one-eyed rifle-armed Mano turns from a prey into a predator. This movie is about a little nightmarish army.
