A Bottle to the Gaza Sea

Tal, a 16-year-old Hebrew girl, is at home when a bomb explodes in her neighborhood. Accustomed to hearing this kind of news on the radio or television, she is shocked to be touched so closely by hatred. To understand what is happening on the other side, how the Palestinians think and feel, she decides to throw a bottle into the sea and establish a contact. This opens a dialogue that will allow her to glimpse the Palestinian reality, to jump over the strip that separates them. Naïm responds to his message in a sullen and mocking way; however, little by little his irony will be transformed into confidence and through his letters we can see the two sides of a conflict.
