Joe Ochana keeps a sleepy piano bar at the far end of an isolated village. On a December night of storm and rain he is there with his pianist Gadi and Fadil, a young Arab kitchen hand, when six travellers heading home to Tel Aviv, two of them women, come in. Joe would like to close up, but they insist on drinks. As midnight passes and the rain beats down, tempers break loose inside, and no one guesses how the night will end, or whether it could have gone another way.
