Surprisingly tender. In a working class area of Berlin, fourteen-year-old Ali and his family are recent Palestinian immigrants, coming from a refugee camp in Lebanon. Still bearing resentment toward Jews, Ali joins a group of Muslim malcontents as they vandalize the apartment of a feisty, elderly Russian Jewish neighbor. Ali is caught by the police and must make amends to the wronged man in order to avoid going to jail. Inspired by real events, this exploration of trust, forgiveness, the alienation of youth and the loneliness of old age is a story of reconciliation and forgiveness in the face of ingrained prejudices.
