Synopsis
In the building where he used to live, on Stern Street, Jerusalem, Gad Abittan filmed ,over several years, the lives of his neighbors. Despite their multi-ethnic origins and traditions, they all lived together as one family. But slowly, the neighborhood changed. Ultra Orthodox Jews gradually took
over the neighborhood, upsetting its cultural and religious pluralism. A story that could take place in any country in the world where ultra orthodox people of any religion become a majority and impose their rules and way of life on their neighbors.
