Information

A chance encounter in Berlin sparks an improbable, passionate affair between an Israeli man and a Palestinian woman in this critically acclaimed, bittersweet drama. Handsome Eyal (Liron Levo) and gorgeous Rana (Lubna Azabal, star of the Oscar®-nominated Incendies and Paradise Now) serendipitously meet when their backpacks get swapped on the subway
during the 2007 World Cup finals. Over six days, they get swept away by romantic desire, soccer mania and competing political loyalties. When Rana suddenly return to Paris, Eyal must make some bold choices that could alter their lives forever.
