Dance has many virtues, but can it help to revive the elusive peace process between Israelis and Palestinians? In need of inspiration, an Israeli choreographer seeks to recruit an Arab dancer to carry out this noble project.

The only thing is, he is full of himself, and racist.

Thumbing its nose at political correctness, this finely danced and spoken piece looks at reconciliation without beating around the bush.
