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.

Critics Consensus

This deeply personal, yet political, documentary about Israeli/Palestinian relations is quietly moving.

'From the milk we drank together, something of my blood, my life is in you,' Musa tells Danae, and explains more about this moving portrait than any political debate could.

Becomes an odd companion piece to the stunning Capturing the Friedmans, one of the most disturbing chronicles of family dysfunction ever documented.

... a film that handles tragic ironies lightly and offers simple hope in lieu of policy prescriptions.
