The three shorts are woven together by the presence of the same village elders in all the films, who happen to be actual members of the Jahalin Bedouin.
A council of village elders meet to discuss the marital problems of a Bedouin man and his German wife.
This entire episode turns out to be a cautionary daydream of the German wife in question, who ultimately decides to leave in the middle of the night with her two children anyway.
The help is unable to kill her, and takes the housekeeper to an unspecified Israeli city - letting her go and telling her not to come back.
The farmhand ultimately undergoes the primeval "fire test" to prove his innocence, but tells the Bedouin elders about the guilt of the Israeli farmer.
The final scene shows the farmhand, an outcast from his society, hitching a ride into the same Israeli city, with words he had used to chide the housekeeper about living in two disparate worlds playing in the background.
