Hi everyone,<br><br>Just to recommend a good French-Palestinian-Israeli fiction film, The Other Son, now playing at the Kendall Square cinema through Thurs. Nov. 8. It's simple but well done, and very French (which means they see clearly). Definitely worth supporting.<br>

<br>The Other Son is the moving and provocative tale of two young men—one Israeli, the other Palestinian, who discover they were accidentally switched at birth, and the complex repercussions on themselves and their respective families. Joseph (Jules Sitruk), an 18-year-old musician preparing to join the Israeli army for his mandatory military service, lives at home in a comfortable suburb of Tel Aviv with his parents, France-born physician Orith (Emmanuelle Devos) and Israel-born army commander Alon Silbers (Pascal Elbé). A blood test for Joseph's military service reveals that he is not their biological son; during the Gulf War Joseph was evacuated from a clinic along with another baby; both were given back to the wrong families. While the Palestinian Joseph went to Tel Aviv with the Silbers, their actual Jewish son, Yacine (Medhi Dehbi) was brought to the West Bank by the Arab couple, Said (Khalifa Natour) and Leila (Areen Omari). The revelation turns the lives of the two families upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, values and beliefs. The Other Son features a terrific multi-national cast hailing from France, Palestine and Israel, and is directed and co-written by Lorraine Levy.
