Dancing Arabs

Director: Eran Riklis Screenwriter: Sayed Kashua Israël 2014 103 min.

Dancing Arabs tells the story of Eyad, a Palestinian-Israeli boy from the
town of Tira whose parents send to a prestigious Jewish boarding school in
Jerusalem. At school he finds himself struggling with issues of language,
culture, and identity -- trying to survive and to find his way in a place
where war constantly rages around him. Feeling foreign and alienated, Eyad
realizes that in order to be accepted as an equal, in order to allay
people's suspicions, in order to work, to love, and, above all, to belong --
he has to make personal sacrifices.
