The musical revolves around the residents of a dilapidated housing project in Jaffa; at its center is a gang leader of Moroccan origin who goes by Kazablan (or "Kaza" for short). Kaza falls in love with the daughter of the housing project's owner, a Polish immigrant who strongly opposes the relationship due to Kazablan's "uncultured" image. The play explores issues that touch on the soul of Israeli society: Ashkenazi-Mizrachi relations, interethnic marriage, acceptance or rejection of The different Other, sociocultural disparities, social protest, etc.
