Regency South Coast Theater, Santa Ana, Calif. In Hebrew, Arabic and English with subtitles
A quiet, still, beautifully-composed little film in which an eight-piece Egyptian police orchestra, invited to play at the opening of an Arab Cultural Center in Israel, arrives by bus at the wrong town, a tiny Israeli desert outpost where there is no Arab Cultural Center ("no Israeli culture, no Arab culture, no culture at all"), is given refuge for the evening and leaves the next morning by bus. An unimportant incident, we are told, but somehow significant on a human level.
