Summary
This film explores the 20-year relationship between two families, one Israeli and one Palestinian. Danae Elon last saw her childhood caregiver in 1991, and she seeks here to discover what happened to Musa, the Palestinian who helped raise her from her infancy until she joined the Israeli army. Her quest takes her to Paterson, NJ, where he had sent his own children to school, and she finds Khalid, Nāṣer, and his six other sons living happily in America. Their encounters bring out the delicate boundaries of politics, class and family relationships. A painful, contradictory, gentle and loving story takes place against the backdrop of a distant and brutal conflict
