Synopsis: | Are the challenges facing a Jew and a Palestinian who fall in love insurmountable or can the issues between them be reconciled? Max Goldwater, an ageing Jewish widower falls in love with Layla, a young Palestinian devoted to the liberation of her country. Max carries with him both the burden of his father's memories as an Allied soldier at the liberation of Auschwitz, and the collective memory of persecution. Max and Layla are challenged by their own histories, their own family roles and have to struggle to retain trust, loyalty and identity. Max and Layla play out their personal drama against the intensity of family life and the wider political conflict of the Middle East. | |||||
