A soldier is seen throwing a bottle into a beach area. As it turns out, it is not an ordinary empty bottle. Inside there is a letter from his sister. All she wants to know is if it is found, and where. She is Tal Levine, a Jewish teenager living in Jerusalem. She has made a web page in order to correspond with whoever finds the bottle and reads the message. Tal had written about things that concern her, as a person, and the circumstances that brought her to Israel.
As fate would have it, Naim, a Palestinian, living in Gaza is the one who finds the bottle. He immediately contacts Tal about his discovery. Naim is living in one of the most dangerous parts of the world, where an old conflict keeps him, and his people in an absurd situation. The interaction between Tal and Naim develops into a friendship which neither one can do a thing to overcome.
Directed by Thierry Binisti, who co-wrote the screenplay with Valerie Zenatti, the film is an anti-war statement about people caught in different sides, but who long for lives that will fulfill them, living freely away from strife and war. A small film with a message for the people on either side of the fighting.
