Salam Shalom

While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict wages on, what are the human consequences of the barriers created? When a visiting Palestinian Ph.D candidate is housed with an Israeli graduate student at UCLA, their obviously disparate backgrounds and cultures are obstacles that seem insurmountable. As their own personal walls come down, they find themselves in an unexpected love affair. But when the two men return to the Holy Land political unrest, family expectations, and ancient traditions threaten to destroy the happiness they found together.
