Synopsis

White Night looks at the female side of the illegal Palestinian worker equation. Night after night a group of Palestinian women go on a border-crossing journey from their village, crawling on the ground through a hole in the fence and into Jerusalem. Here they blend into their surroundings, and go to work to support their children. On these nightly journeys they share with each other their lives, pain, hopes and dreams.
