    A very young Israeli soldier, whose best friends are Palestinian twins, is driven to the breaking point by conflicting loyalties. Over a series of long bus trips, nights on the beach, and marijuana-fueled conversations, Jonathan begins to see the occupation through the eyes of his friends and grasps that their family history is no less tragic than his own. A passionate, poetic coming-of-age story set in a mine field, brilliantly captures the intensity of feelings on both sides of the conflict.
