In the wake of 1967's Six-Day War, Israeli parents Amos and Beth Elon hire Musa, a Palestinian man, as a caretaker for their daughter Danae. Despite historical tensions between Jews and Muslims in the region, Musa manages to coexist with the Elons for over 20 years before finally losing contact with them in the early 1990s. Years later, Danae -- now a film student in New York City -- attempts to track down Musa to uncover missing pieces of her childhood.

Rated: 3/4 Oct 21, 2005 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution Becomes an odd companion piece to the stunning Capturing the Friedmans, one of the most disturbing chronicles of family dysfunction ever documented. Rated: B Jun 23, 2005 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Slim, heartbreaking film. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 17, 2005 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ... a film that handles tragic ironies lightly and offers simple hope in lieu of policy prescriptions.
