    An intelligent, sensitive Palestinian youth is sent to the most prestigious school in Israel at his Arab father's behest in the hope that he will fulfill the dreams of a family and "become" someone. His handicapped best friend is Jewish as is the young woman he is interested in and soon he finds himself trapped between two cultures who feel only hatred and scorn for each other. The struggle to deal with the dichotomy in his life and his attempts to make sense of love and loss in both worlds eventually leads to his coming of age. A good story that doesn't follow Hollywood formulas, along with some sensitive, somewhat subtle, performances - I haven't enjoyed a movie as much in a long, long time. I do recommend it to others.
