This is a documentary about a homeless boy's life over a two and a half year period. Naf (Naftali) is an ultra-orthodox boy thrown out of his parents' home for being a "bad apple". From the age of 14 he wanders the Jerusalem streets, and is exposed to crime, violence, and sexual assault. Only fighting keeps him alive; fighting the city council as a representative of homeless youth; fighting the man who sexually abused him through the court system, fighting the radio stations to convince them to play his music. This is the struggle for survival experienced by all our homeless children: a shocking documentary that one is not likely to forget any time soon.
