Since the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967, more than 650,000 Palestinians, most of them men, have been arrested and put in Israeli prisons. The number of political prisoners per capita is the highest in the world.

Night after night a group of about twenty Palestinian women, who don't have permits to enter Israel, make the long and treacherous journey from their village, crawling on the ground through a hole in the fence, and then into Jerusalem. Here they transform, blending into their surroundings, ready for a day's work, which will allow them to support their children.
