The Lady from Tel Aviv

Walid Dahman, a Palestinian settled in London, sets out to see his mother and family in the Gaza Strip, thirty-eight years after the war of June 1967 separated them. On the flight into Ben Gurion Airport he finds himself next to Dana Ahuva, an Israeli artist, and a broken conversation begins that wanders through personal recollection and the past of both peoples, at a moment charged with fear and suspicion and without ready-made ideological answers.
