Cannes Film Festival - NOMINATED - Palme d'Or

Included among the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" - edited by Steven Schneider

This film was the first ever to be shot in Israel and was the first Israeli production to enjoy commercial success abroad, although it was not entirely representative of that nation's film industry. It is an English-language film that was directed, edited and photographed by British talent, co-written and co-produced by a Canadian, and cast with Irish and American actors in two major roles. Each actor and actress speaks in his or her native language, predominantly English, with only a handful of lines coming in Hebrew.

The story is set during the 1948 Independence War, while the Arabs try to gain control of the Holy Land. The four central characters are Irishman Edward Mulhare, American Allan Goodman, a Palestinian, and a Yemenite girl. As the foursome holds tenuously onto the militarily crucial Hill 24, which overlooks the road to Jerusalem, the film flashes back to show why and how these disparate souls have come together for this undertaking. Through their personal stories, a broader socio-political context is presented, including the dilemmas faced by the new state. Although it is the Israeli point of view that is predominant, it is not excessively stressed.
