As the so-called solution of “two people – two states” in Palestine-Israel is dying a slow death in the face of escalating racism and ongoing colonization and repression by Israel, Eyal Sivan's new documentary film, shows a cinematographical encounter between Palestinian Arabs and Israeli Jews. Twenty interviews were carried out on the theme of the common state with politicians and settlers, legal experts and artists, Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, Palestinian Arabs in Israel and in the occupied territory. The interviewees respond to the same questions in their mother tongue, and the screen is split into two, with an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian in parallel, one listening and one talking, thereby enacting a meeting point between two realities that are fragmented and separated from each other in daily life.
