Synopsis
They were young, talented and free in New York. Dorit Rabinyan was an Israeli novelist and Hasan Hourani was a Palestinian artist. Their passionate friendship, impossible at home, flourished abroad. Then, in 2003 while visiting his family, Hourani drowned in Jaffa. Inspired by Dorit's 2003 article 'The Exile's Return' and Hasan's illustrated children's book 'Hasan Everywhere', this film contrasts the lonely voice of the writer with the warm, imaginative landscapes of the artist.
