Winner of thirty-six different awards from a variety of international film festivals, this film offers a glimpse into the basic humanity in Middle East communities. On an ordinary day, the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrives in Israel from Egypt for a cultural event, but find themselves stuck in a remote desert until morning without accommodations. As the band settles in as best it can, each of the members attempts to get along with the natives in their own way. What follows is a special night of quiet happenings and confessions as the band and the town impact each other in unpredictable ways. In English, Arabic and Hebrew with subtitles.
