On an ordinary day, the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrives in Israel from Egypt for a cultural event, only find there is no delegation to meet them, nor any arrangements to get to their destination of Petah Tiqva. When they find their own ride, they arrive instead at the remote town of Beit Hatikva. Stuck there until the next morning's bus, the band, lead by the repressed Tawfiq Zacharaya, gets help from the worldly lunch owner, Dina, who offers to put them up for the night. As the band settles in as best it can, each of the members attempts to get along with the natives in their own way. What follows is a special night of quiet happenings and confessions as the band makes its own impact on the town and the town on them. Written by Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

一個由埃及警察組成的樂隊,因為連番陰錯陽差,流落以色列偏僻小鎮,幸被雜貨店女老闆與好心街坊收留,共度一個奇妙的晚上。讓人聯想到郭利斯馬基的成名作《列寧格列牛仔征美記》,在刻畫兩個民族的敏感歷史與意外接觸時,既有舉重若輕的喜劇魅力,又有溫馨包容的人性關照,在今年坎城影展「一種注目」單元首映後好評如潮

sometimes we think how to reach the peace,maybe a simple way is start to remember the "peace" first... film is a easy way to free the deep emotion out from heart..then when it free, the wounds will got heal
Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.--Max Beerbohm
