Summary
:
In 1967, not long after the Six Day War, a young Arab man named Bashir ventured into the town of Ramla in what is now Jewish Israel, on a pilgrimage to see his childhood home. He was greeted at the door by a young woman named Dalia, who invited him in. This act of kindness in the face of years of animosity and warfare is the starting point for a remarkable true story of two families, one Arab, one Jewish. Their unlikely friendship over the ensuing four decades represents the region's hope for peace, self-determination, and reconciliation.
