Description:

Hassan, a 55-year-old Palestinian, works as a taxi driver in Berlin and struggles with growing estrangement from his family. One night, Amir gets into his cab — a 25-year-old Israeli who is exploring Berlin’s nightlife with friends while also discovering his sexual identity.

 

The two men come from neighboring towns in Israel-Palestine. In distant Berlin, an unusual relationship develops between them between 2021 and October 2023.

Followed by a discussion with Assaf Machnes
