Do you believe in fate? Eyal and Rana were never supposed to have met. While visiting in Berlin, the two STRANGERS get their identical bags switched by mistake. This accident causes them to get to know each other and spend the rest of their vacation together. They become infatuated with one another and fall in love. Sounds perfect, right? Wrong. Eyal is Israeli, Rana is Palestinian living in Paris, and the Israel-Lebanon war is getting worse every day. As they learn to deal with their different backgrounds, Rana gets a call regarding a family emergency, forcing her to leave Berlin early and return home to Paris. Before she leaves, she tells Eyal not to contact her in any way. Ignoring her request, Eyal goes to France to find his true love. It is here that he comes to Rana’s rescue in a desperate time of need. In the end, he must make a choice that will affect both of their futures. Can these two star-crossed lovers fight off the rest of the world in order to be together? (In French, Hebrew, and Arabic with English subtitles)—L.W.
