Outdoor film screening
To save what was once the largest Jewish community in the world from being shut down, Ben, an ultra-Orthodox Jew from Brooklyn visiting Jerusalem, is sent out to be the desperately needed tenth man for the celebration of Pesach in Alexandria, Egypt. Having missed his plane and been kicked off the bus in the Sinai Desert, his last hope is Adel, a grumpy Bedouin looking for his camel. When their car breaks down, the situation becomes a fight for their very survival. The film, which starts out as a crazy comedy, slows down and hits more serious tones as Adel unveils the philosophy of nomadic life during conversations under the stars and discusses religion with Ben. An unusual culture-clash and road trip movie mix set in the Holy Land.
