The Other Son
As he is preparing to join the Israeli army for his national service, Joseph (Jules Sitruk) discovers he is not his parents' biological son, and that he was inadvertently switched at birth with Yassin (Mehdi Dehbi), the son of a Palestinian family from the West Bank. "The Other Son" is the moving and provocative story of a revelation that turns the lives of these two families upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, values and their beliefs.
