Audience Member Understated comedy with a nod to the very unfunny distances that persist in that part of the world. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/16 Full Review Audience Member it doesn't matter what religion you are when you find yourself at the end of the road Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member http://filmreviewsnsuch.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-2016-oscar-nominated-shorts-program_14.html Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member In Israel's West Bank, a family of Jewish settlers accidentally crash their car into a statue of the Virgin Mary in front of a small Arab Christian convent inhabited by nuns who have taken a vow of silence. The family, who is fighting amongst themselves, also has to deal with communication difficulties between them and the nuns - and the fact that the Sabbath has just begun - in their efforts to get home safely. With understated but clever comedy, this film brings to light the daily difficulties of Jews, Arabs and Christians sharing lands that all claim as their own.
