In Israel’s Negev desert, Farhan Al-Nabari (72) - a fearless arbitrator, fights to prevent the next killing between feuding Bedouin families. His tent, a "place of refuge," anchors tradition amid rising youth violence challenging state and tribal authority. As societal desperation and poverty intensify, Farhan faces a profound struggle: the State of Israel demands the uprooting of his tribe from its home of 71 years. Amid frantic reconciliation efforts between tribes, this poignant tale unfolds—a clash between ancient traditions and modern mandates. Farhan fights to preserve his community's legacy, navigating a delicate balance between the timeless laws of the desert and the new world.
