Running on Sand plot
"The problem starts, when you stop running"
Aumari, a young Eritrean refugee living in Israel, is about to be sent back to his home country. After an impromptu escape attempt at the airport, he is mistaken for a Nigerian striker who was due to arrive at the same time. Aumari seizes the opportunity and capitalizes on his change of identity as the new key player for the team of 'Maccabi Netanya'. Despite the absence of any football talent, Aumari is able to heal the divisions of his struggling team, while developing a tender romantic bond with the charmingly unconventional daughter of the team owner.
