When Thomas Overby mistakenly believes Aya is his assigned driver, she spontaneously decides to go along with the charade and drives him to Jerusalem. A stiff and guarded pianist, Overby is intrigued by the impulsive though melancholy Aya. As they slowly begin to connect, the film takes us on a journey we hope will never end.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative journey of two souls finding unexpected connection. It feels like a fleeting, beautiful dream, tinged with a gentle sadness and a profound sense of longing for something just out of reach.
