Arriving in Berlin for the World Cup finals, Eyal, an Israeli kibbutznik, and Rana, a Palestinian living in Paris, meet accidentally, and what begins as sexual attraction evolves into something deeper. Of course, all this is tested as the second Israeli-Lebanon war breaks out.

Celebrated at the Sundance Film Festival along with a nomination for a Grand Jury prize, the film’s honest performances, intelligent script, and youthful energy, transcend clichés and reveal two people whose common feelings of ruthlessness connect them more closely than the cultural conflicts that divide them.

ABOUT TORONTO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL

The Toronto Jewish Film Festival presents the best feature films, documentaries and shorts from around the world, on themes of Jewish culture and identity.  The Festival is dedicated to using film for its contemporary popular value and accessibility, in order to reflect the diversity of the Jewish experience internationally.  The TJFF provides an opportunity to heighten awareness of Jewish and cultural diversity around the world, to audiences of all cultural backgrounds, and to present films in their original languages with subtitles, in an effort to break down racial, cultural and religious barriers and stereotypes.
