There are parallel universes in the city of Jerusalem. Running alongside ‘Egged’, the Israeli national bus system, are the green and white Palestinian public buses. They pick up people traveling through Palestinian neighbourhoods of East Jerusalem, and cross back and forth over the Green Line. As the buses traverse the city, they carry with them dreams from various worlds. Passengers ascend and descend, always on the go, living their lives amidst a complex of rules, walls, soldiers, and permits. Will they reach their destination? This film is a part of the "Jerusalem Moments 2009" Project: seven documentary short films by seven young Palestinian and Israeli directors, reflecting the complexity of life in Jerusalem, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
