The film Kamash takes place in Kiryat Moshe, an underprivileged neighborhood where most residents are of Ethiopian descent. The area has been overtaken by a crime organization run by white individuals, with the organization’s “soldiers” being local youths recruited into its ranks.
The story begins with Edna (23), a soldier within the organization. After his mother’s death, Edna decides to change his life, cooperate with the police, and betray the organization in hopes of securing his release and caring for his younger brother, Emmanuel (19). This decision sets off a chain of dramatic events, pulling other neighborhood residents into a whirlwind that upends their lives.
Every choice and action by one character influences the fate of others, as the film’s protagonists struggle to survive and search for love, respect, and a sense of belonging — all within a neighborhood that everyone dreams of escaping.
