When Yaki becomes aware of Bella’s true identity — a curly plumed, extremely valuable dove and his sole inheritance — it’s already too late. Yaki embarks with Bilal, his childhood friend, and their wives on a road trip across Israel and Palestine to bring Bella back. Along the way, they navigate through checkpoints, ruin a wedding, steal the newlyweds’ car, participate in a family reconciliation ceremony, and revive the unconscious dove…. All in order to make it on time to a dove beauty pageant in Jerusalem.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: A comedy about a Jewish couple, a Palestinian couple, and a magical dove. From the directing team of a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian man, both Israeli citizens, exploring together their wounds, conditioning, anger, and laughter.
