Seven women arrive to Israel from North Africa by ship in 1950, and are sent directly to the desert "development town" of Dimona, which is in the early stages of being built.

During the next 15 years, the women and girls deal with harsh feelings of separation from their homelands, exile to the geographic and cultural periphery, institutionalized racism and corruption, poverty, and disappointment with the ostensible "promised land".

Though there was a plethora of material on Kibbutzim (with a largely Ashkenazi population), when it came to Dimona and other development towns (with a largely Mizrahi population), she mostly found footage from image campaigns for overseas fundraising, which aimed to show how the young nation is building up the desert, and which often featured European Jews coming to the town to "civilize the primitives", and teach them to cook and sew.

"[1] Aviad then decided to dismantle the stereotyped views of the women of the development town by allowing them an opportunity to tell their own stories: of immigration, deadly ringworm treatments, loves and losses, and getting together to dance.

Who during the day carry out a brave and successful labor struggle against the Kitan plant in Dimona where they work, and in the evening dance the twist.
