Winner Best FilmFestival of Young Filmmakers at Saint Jean de Luz (France)
Narrative Feature Award and Audience Choice Award-Heartland Film Festival
An engrossing drama based on the award-winning novel by Valrie Zenatti. Seventeen-year-old Tal has emigrated from France to Jerusalem with her family. She writes a letter expressing her refusal to accept that only hatred can reign between Israelis and Palestinians. She slips the letter into a bottle, and her brother throws it into the sea near Gaza. A few weeks later Tal receives an e-mail response from a mysterious "Gazaman," a young Palestinian named Nam. Thus begins a turbulent but tender long-distance friendship between two young people that are separated by a history they are trying both to understand and change.
