Excellent slice-of-life short film consisting of a brief voyage which for most people in the world would be of little consequence. But for these two Palestinians, father Mahmmood and son Ibrahim, it is a dangerous and difficult journey not only physically, but psychologically, as son and father together experience a bumpy ride toward the boy's political awareness and maturity on the one hand and, on the other hand, toward a more mature relationship with each other.
This remarkable short provides a poignant and accurate portrayal of life for Arabs in the area with perfect symmetry, setting out the physical and psychological space to be visited, and consequently providing an artful resolution, as life goes on and the developing relationship of father and son passes a milepost of mutual understanding, forever altered.
