Drunk Joe initially waves her off but something about Sarah touches him and he finally agrees to investigate the case, knowing that nothing good will come of it. Jack, Joe's partner, doesn't like it and feels something is wrong. Joe realizes that behind the whole affair is the city's biggest criminal that no one wants to mess with, and on top of all that, Sarah disappears. Now Joe must solve the problem. All dialogues are rhymed and sung on the beat.

Taking all that was great from the first instalment, the movie aims to be a wilder, leaner, faster-paced and even more entertaining anthology this time around, with a new crop of award-winning, visionary filmmakers from around the globe.

Neighboring is always complex. Add to it soldiers, marijuana, terror groups, fences, knives, dancers, guns, rabbis and imams, and you have a complete mayhem. This comedy extracts humor from absurd situations in the West Bank, the “Wild West of the Middle East,” where living together becomes a tricky challenge. Lost in Territories explodes across the screen in five connected, chaotic, and bizarre stories that delve into the daily lunacy of the region.
