The destinies of 4 people - Abu Sleeman, owner of a tunnel bombarded in January 2009, Mouneer and Sameer, his labourers, and Hiyad Keshta, their neighbour - meet and intertwine in a neighbourhood under high tension.

"Abu Jamil Street" is a journey into the clandestine daily life of Rafah's tunnels.
