Hole to Heaven takes us to the village of Majihira, a place filled with legends and folklore about death and daily life events like marriage and divorce. Each character has their own story, beginning with Taima and after her, Eissa, Farj, Ghaith and others. The final story is that of Fatoum, who departs the village after everyone in it has died, leaving behind only a palm tree which bears her name as a memorial of past times.
