“A filmic act that opposes the idea that the only thing Israelis and Palestinians can do together is war”. This is what the Israeli director Eyal Sivan and the Palestinian director Michel Khleifi say, embarking on a long journey from south to north in Israel e Palestine, building an on-the-road portrait that wants to be collective, different, transversal across age, gender and social role. In the challenge of looking for the remains of everyday life in a place tormented by a continuous war, the intention of this epic is to retrace the geography close to that border defined by the resolution 181, which established, under the sign of the United Nations in 1947, the dividing line between the two states.
