One night in an Israeli police station, a black mother is searching for her son, who has been missing for hours. Faced with a wall of bureaucracy, she tries to gather bits of information from internet rumours, profiles, and police theories. Together, all of these forms a stark view of Israeli reality in 2020 for those born with the wrong colour.
Prejudice, racism and expressions like 'over-policing' and 'selective enforcement', well-known to members of the Ethiopian community, come together in one long night spent by one black woman who just wants to know where her child is.
