"The Band's Visit", ending track and theme song.

A wonderful example of how two clashing worlds, divided by a concrete wall (that's becoming an open-air art gallery by the day) can meet somewhere in the middle and create a beautiful thing.

A bittersweet story with a touch of irony and pure comedy. Lives that meet in the middle of nowhere, in the dullest of the days and in a place that only has slight human resemblances ("No culture. No Israeli culture, not Arab... no culture at all"). Nevertheless, from their clashing, an incredible sweetness bursts off; human stories intertwine, the music begins.

"Do you like Chet Baker?"
"Who?"




the trailer as well..
