Set in 1942 during the German occupation, this tells the story of the friendship between two teenage girls, about 15...one Arab, one Jewish. They get caught up in the madness sweeping through the world at that time but eventually their love for each other prevails.
A major theme throughout was the oppressive nature of the lives of women in that time and culture. Not much room for joy or fun. All they had was each other and sometimes even that was taken away by men's decisions.
Nice camera work. A solid, if slow, work of international cinema.
