A Trumpet in the Wadi

Respected directors Lina and Slava Chaplin bring Haifa author Sami Michael's Israeli classic novel
to the screen. In an Arab neighborhood in Haifa, love blossoms between Huda, a Christian Arab woman, and her upstairs neighbor Alex, a new Jewish immigrant from Russia. But can their love survive? Told from the point of view of an Arab family and beautifully acted by Khawlha Hag-Debsy as Huda and Alexander Sederovich as Alex, this graceful, lovely film shines with an integrity that even the events of the last year cannot dim.
