SYNOPSIS:
After an altercation between an Iranian, a Palestinian and a Jewish student, the parents of the boys are called to the school to resolve the situation. Though full of good intentions, their teacher inadvertently exposes her own misguided assumptions to hilarious effect, such as offering snacks decorated with Palestinian and Israeli flags. Written with a light touch, Director Leo Khasin takes on the weighty topic of anti-Semitism in German schools, in an attempt to explore the complexities of finding a common language in the fight against prejudice.
