Eight railroad tracks separate the 'Railroad Neighborhood' from the rest of the world. Hundreds of trains pass noisily every day - a train every four minutes - through this unrecognized neighborhood of Lod, a small, neglected city on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. In their tough surroundings of crime and poverty, five Arab women chose, or were forced, into lonesomeness. The film follows them through one day of living their reality in the shadow of the railroads.
