Let's be honest—really, how different are cul-
tures one from another? Aren't human beings
really all the same, deep down? Take a look.

Danny Verete's gorgeously shot film shows us what
the New York Post calls a modern Israel with "the
Judean Desert caught in a time warp." We see
three dramatic encounters between ancient and
modern ways: a young Bedouin killed by a fuel
tanker, a German woman married to a Bedouin hus-
band, and an affair between an Israeli farmer and
his Bedouin house maid. The Post, again: "The pas-
sions aroused by the discord between old and new
cultures are set against the strange, stark beauty of
the Mideast desert, so lovingly and perceptively
filmed that you can almost taste the desiccated
air."

This astonishing, prize-winning film is about choosing
between two loves. A 72-year-old grandmother
dies and finds herself on the ferry to the hereafter.
Aboard is her first love, killed in an auto accident
when they were both in their twenties, Her choice:
to start life with him fresh, as a 22-year old, and to
give up all her memories of her husband and grand-
children, or to remain 72 with all life's memories
intact, If she chooses the latter, she can never be
reunited with her beloved, who has been waiting for
her for 50 years.
