The Band's Visit
The heartfelt, critically acclaimed story of how the smallest moments can have the largest impact.
"Once not long ago a group of musicians came to Israel from Egypt. You probably didn't hear about it. It wasn't very important."
An Egyptian Police Band arrives in Israel to play a concert. After a mix up at the border, they are sent to a remote village in the middle of the desert. With no bus until morning and no hotel in sight, these unlikely travelers are taken in by the locals. Under the spell of the desert sky, their lives become intertwined in the most unexpected ways.
