We are taken behind the scenes of a play in the making: Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, starring a group of young Palestinians. One by one, we are introduced to a variety of characters: director, actors, and other ordinary people. As we delve deeper into their lives, the film reveals the startling parallels between the themes of the play and their own. Everyone is waiting for something: a permit to build a house, better work conditions, a starring role in a film. While waiting for Faraj Allah (a given name that literally means "divine happy end"), as in Waiting for Godot, our heroes await something that may or may not come.
