The sharp emotions that rise from ethnic rivalries and geographic oppression form the center of this superbly acted drama about the Arab population of a small Galilee village in 1964, who must learn to cope with the unhealed wounds left by the 1948 war. "…a film that maintains a simultaneous awareness of mankind's yearning for peace and friendship and the simple pleasures of life, and the harsh, bloody reality of an imperfect world" (Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times). Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles.
