An Egyptian band of 8 came to perform in a foreign country in Israel .
7 old and 1 young, blue uniforms, who didn't know they thought they were invited performers. However, no one greeted him when he got off the plane, and he even had to find his own way.
Language barrier, the handsome guy asked for directions in broken English, and sang love songs to the young lady by the way, so that he didn't hear the news from the inquiries at all.
After getting out of the car, all faces are stunned, and there is no one around. This is a small town on the edge of the desert .
Let's go, gotta go to the show place. The hunger was unbearable and the weather was getting late, so the 8 had to eat and sleep in a small restaurant nearby.
The charming lady boss, a few shy and stupid guys, the story just happened.
Egypt and Israel, friends familiar with history must know that these two countries have no friendly times at all. From the 1940s to the 1970s, wars were fought almost every decade. There doesn't seem to be any good at all.
This unfortunate encounter has created a lot of beauty.
After dinner, the clarinetist played the unfinished concerto for the cut-toe guy. This scene is extremely lonely, but also extremely literary, the desert accompaniment quietly, as if the face is skipping the Israeli breeze.
Night fell on the town, and the air was filled with sand-like ambiguity . This group of old and young, also began to take action.
The old-fashioned and serious leader goes on a date with the single boss, the handsome guy with the love scene teaches the shy curly-haired teenager to flirt with the girl (literally), and the honest old group members and the noisy flat-headed brother's family have an embarrassing dinner.
Three stories, three endings.
The proprietress and the head of the group, both mature people, sat on a park bench that didn't look like a park and complained to each other .
Quietly, but the emotions are heating up. Only in the end they were very restrained from each other.
The curly-haired boy likes girls but is ashamed to pursue them. The handsome guy does his part and takes on the responsibility of a love mentor.
In the ballroom, starting from chatting up, how to hold hands and hug, the handsome boy taught the young man step by step to express his love bravely . At this moment, he is like a warm-hearted big brother.
The flat-headed guy's dinner didn't stop, and the elders quarreled and defended each other loudly. The honest members looked at each other and chose to eat silently.
After dinner, in the flat-headed guy's room, he chatted with the members about his past. It was also quiet, and the room was full of bitterness .
In a short dozen hours, the people of the two cultures were intertwined, which may have nothing to do with politics and religion, but the purest kindness and warmth between human nature .
Honesty, courage, clumsiness, softness, all emerge, in a quiet way.
When there is silence, who will remember those wars and pains? Everyone is moving forward with a heavy burden and entangled in their own lives.
Only on this night, the candid communication of strangers and revealing their truth to foreigners, did I feel that I was a little reliant on .
A lonely town where two groups of lonely people meet . Parting is also lonely, the band is packing, the proprietress and the man are sitting in a familiar place, waving goodbye is so slight.
It all seemed like nothing happened, like that unfinished concerto.
