NATIONAL PREMIERE GUEST DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER

Israel-Palestine: how will l3 young people on both sides of the border live? A great story of friendship, an analysis of the sense of responsibility and the complexity of imagining the future.

Israeli filmmaker Roy Cohen, who has just become a father, traces his teenage years, spent with his Palestinian friend Aseel, who was killed by police during a demonstration. In the 1990s, both were part of a delegation of young people who aspired to be the seeds of a peaceful future for the Middle East. Today, Roy questions mourning and a sense of responsibility in an increasingly radicalized Tel Aviv.
