the band's visit


the band's visit is about an egyptian band that comes to israel as part of a cultural exchange program. their ride never shows up to pick them up at the airport and so they get lost, and end up in a shitty little town in the negev. i thought it was okay. good not great, a little too sentimental for my tastes. (e.g. the egyptian guy teaches the awkward israeli about love, et cetera. you know how it goes...)

but i did like how the entire plot depended upon egyptians' inability to pronounce a "P".
