One is a Lebanese Christian and the other is a Palestinian refugee. They went to court because of a quarrel. This fight, driven by the media, triggered a nationwide upheaval. What seemed like a trivial matter between the two actually involved political and religious issues in the entire Middle East. The film thus triggered people's thinking about truth, faith, humanity and peace. The male lead, Carmel Basha, won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival for this film.
