Murad, Murad

A tomboy at heart, driven by adventure and a desire to understand what her less privileged compatriots go through, architect and university professor Suad Amiry disguises herself as a man and crosses the Israeli border illegally to seek work in the Israeli town of Petah Tikva. The eighteen-hour journey that she braves with Murad and his brother Mohammed starts with a late-night ride in a bus crammed with other illegal workers - all men - whose endless stories are both horrifying and amusing.
