A heartfelt, moving film. Anyone who sees the film will understand far more about the reality in Israel than they could learn from any article or editorial.
-The Jerusalem Post
Ce beau film d'Eran Riklis aborde avec sensibilité et originalité la question du dialogue et de la tolérance entre deux cultures.

Synopsis
Dancing Arabs tells the story of Eyad, a Palestinian-Israeli boy from the town of Tira whose parents send to a prestigious Jewish boarding school in Jerusalem. At school he finds himself struggling with issues of language, culture, and identity – trying to survive and to find his way in a place where war constantly rages around him. Feeling foreign and alienated, Eyad realizes that in order to be accepted as an equal, in order to allay people’s suspicions, in order to work, to love, and, above all, to belong – he has to make personal sacrifices.Theatrical Release Date
