Director: Eran Riklis
Screenplay by: Sayed Kashua

Eyad,a gifted boy from an Arab village,  attends a prestigious boarding school in Jerusalem. Although the liberal, left-leaning students and staff couldn’t be nicer, he feels very distant from them. The language in which he learns, as well as the curriculum that he studies, are from a different culture and perspective, and he can never forget that he is an outsider. He develops a close friendship with Jonathan, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, and is embraced as a member of family, but his romance with classmate Naomi emphasizes the barriers he faces in Jewish society.
