Une bouteille à la mer: Less than a hundred kilometers separate Jerusalem and Gaza. Jerusalem is home to Tal, a 17-year-old recent French immigrant, and Gaza is the home of Naïm, a 20-year-old Palestinian confined there. After witnessing a bombing at her local café, Tal refuses to accept that only hatred can exist between two peoples. She slips a message into a bottle and tosses it into the Gaza Sea. From such a beginning, can a friendship follow? |
