Asfur

“Asfur,” meaning “bird” in Arabic, is Jerusalem slang for a loser, someone with no prospects. The series takes place in an industrial area among garages, in a small valley where a neglected piece of land lies with three abandoned bus carcasses at its center. Seemingly a junkyard, it is in fact the “kingdom” of our heroes, street guys, hopeless underdogs, who decided to quit the rat race. In their small kingdom, inside the refurbished buses, they live without taxes, bank accounts, social security, or any nonsense. They work off the books, smoke, party, and sway on life’s hammock… until the rope is cut.
