How does this film explore dynamics of identity, belonging, nationalism, and displacement? What are the problems at hand in regard to land/territory and homeland/nation? How are the sacred texts (Qu'ran & Torah) related or disconnected to how these Israeli/Palestinian children/teenagers perceive themselves and each other as Jews and Muslims and in turn also as secular? What is the tension between religion and secularity in this film? How do the perspectives of these children/teenagers change over time in the documentary and in regard to the two additional video segments?
