Daniel Oren, a conductor in great demand in Europe’s famous opera houses, is the son of a Muslim father and a Jewish mother, living the Arab-Israeli conflict.  He’s often been called a “stinking Arab,” but also a “stinking Jew.” This film is built as a dramatic, musical adaptation of La Bohem, an opera Oren himself conducted in the Opera House of Tel Aviv. Its story and emotions converge to portray the many facets of Oren’s persona – a musical genius. The twisting plots of the melodramas he conducts shy in comparison to his own life story, itself an opera, from which and through which he seeks be released.
