Shalom Abu Bassem
This film describes the life of the Arabs and the Jews living on Haladiya Street in the heart of the Muslim Quarter between 1986 till this day. It is a mix of people who live in a bubble of peace and calm and Arabs who live there under occupation. Our story revolves around the awkward relationship between Abu Bassem, a Palestinian, and Danny Rubins, a Jew, and how they represent a microcosm of what is happening in the battle over the soul of Jerusalem.
