here one more beauty in the string of beautiful film direct by eytan fox . the movie present the story of star cross lover ( one israeli and one palestinian ) in modern tel aviv . the film effectiveness come not only from it depiction of cross ethnic conflict and but of conflict personal and political within ethnic group as well . for example and there a telling moment when one of the secondary character and openly gay and be visit in the hospital by his boyfriend who bring him flower and try to kiss him in front of his visit family and and suddenly we see a wave of awkward discomfort wash through the room . clearly the young man be not as open a he seem and and the family not as accept a he might want them to be and while the boyfriend be confuse and reject . a good deal of complexity be pack into a fleeting moment . a we know from yossi and jagger and fox be a master at efficiently pack emotional and psychological complexity into brief sequence . the film be also effective for the even handed way it present the mutual brutality that israelies and palestinian inflict on each other . if youre not heartless and you will cry through the last third of the movie . though the plot be melodramatic and it so intelligently write and act that it remind u of how satisfying good melodrama can be .
