When an Egyptian police brass band travels to Israel to play at the opening of an Arab arts center, the group ends up abandoned and lost in a remote desert town, igniting a charming cross-cultural comedy. Defying expectations, the tiny Israeli community embraces the musicians, and both the Egyptians and the locals learn a few things about one another -- and themselves. This witty foreign-language film nabbed the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes.

§Lucky they're not Palestinians!

Oh! How nice the Israelis can (in fiction, at least!) be to Egyptians as long as the Egyptian dictatorship helps the Zionist dictatorship keep the Palestinians in line.
