Plot Synopsis

The year is 1969 and in an isolated Israeli village on the edge of the Negev two Jewish immigrant families, one from Morocco and the other from India, become unlikely neighbours who have nothing in common but the dream of a new life.

Everyone tries to assert their particular cultural identities, the Indian family by putting together a cricket team and the Moroccan family by trying to disrupt the game. Meanwhile, each family has a teenage daughter negotiating the landscape of the sexual revolution. When the sultry Moroccan, Nicole, and the headstrong Indian, Sara, become friends, their youth and desire for freedom help them to overcome their differences. In this isolated place, the road to harmony takes many surprising and comical twists and turns and is beautifully filmed against a desert background.
