Israeli director Eran Riklis' first smashing collaboration with Palestinian actress Hiam Abbass is the heart breaking story of a Druze family in an occupied village on the Israel/Syria border. The people in the village are caught between in the politics of the countries and have to obey to the inhuman rules that separates families. When the family members come together to marry and send their daughter to Syria, they have to face and endure humiliation from the authorities. Riklis shows great compassion for the people in this outstanding film that puts a human face to the well known conflict. An excellent cast and crew make this film unforgettable.
