On his wedding day, Salem receives a special gift from his friend Da’ud…
A Qassam missile that the two of them can launch towards Israel to protest the Israeli army’s missile attacks. Though Salem prefers not to participate in the conflict, it’s hard for him to turn down his best friend. Meanwhile, over the border in Sderot, Shalom is furious with his friend David who stole money from a relative. The two of them, close to losing it because of the unending Qassam threat from Gaza find it hard to reconcile. On a hot summer day, these two pairs - who look so similar but cannot meet because of the ongoing war in the region – move towards an unavoidable fate.

Quotes |
|
"Salem, David is based on a brilliant idea of the actors portraying parallel characters in worlds that cannot meet. The art design of the film creates little details through minimalism and sensitivity, which force a world both known and foreign, where the borders between laughter and deep sadness of loss aren`t taken for gratitude. This is an intelligent dazed comedy, and most importantly – an enjoyable one."
- Jury Panel at the Cinema South Festival, Sderot, Israel, 2008 |
