Institute History
Description
This is the story of an unlikely friendship between an Arab and a Jew. Having committed an act of terror, Mahmude must flee his country and take refuge in Holland. He is taken in by Hans, a baker. Over the course of five years, they become friends. Mahmude marries and has a child. After the death of his wife, Mahmude is called back to the service of his cause. He is forced to choose between his friend and his national identity. Through Mahmude’s struggle, Hans is forced to deal with his own identity, and the Holocaust he has spent a lifetime trying to forget.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
