“Men in the Sun” deals with the journey of four Palestinians seeking to travel to Kuwait in a hope of finding a job there during the oil boom.

The four men arrange for travel with a lorry driver, a Palestinian man who was surgically castrated in the 1948 war. The men are forced to ride in the back of the truck across the desert on their way to Kuwait. At several check points, the men hide in a large, empty, water tank in the stifling mid-day heat as the driver arranges paperwork to get through. At the last check point, within easy driving distance of the travelers’ ultimate goal of Kuwait, the driver is held up at the last check point. Once the driver is able to drive past the check point, he opens the tank to let the men out, only to find they have died.
