Foreign labour, a phenomenon typical of the 1990s, is examined here in one village in the Jordan valley. Until the intifada, Palestinians from a nearby village worked the fields, but after one of the community’s members was murdered, the farmers decided to employ Thais. This documentary addresses the question of cheap labour, set against the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
