Jad Ne'eman's  documentary, produced in 1975 for Israeli TV's First Chanel, depicts the alienation between Jews and Arabs living in Acre through the story of a depressed young Jewish woman, who is committed to a psychiatric hospital in the ancient fortress.

Piercing scenes include Arab students learning the history of Zionism in perfect Hebrew, a young Arab painter signing his work as "Picasso", an Arab woman’s experience at a Jewish dentist's office, and a Jewish girl’s consoling words to her Arab friend: "We must try, that is all we can do..."

Hananya Bar's collage-like photography is explicit and revealing. Acre, where Hebrew and Arabic words are spoken by Jews and Arabs, is an allegory of complex existence in a torn land. The Theater of the Absurd translated into cinema.

The film will be screened in a sequence with Yigal Borstein's film "Muhamad Will Mow". After both films – a discussion with the filmmakers, directed by Dr. Shmulik Duvdevani.
