Plot
4 interlocking stories all connected by a single gun all converge at the end and reveal a complex and tragic story of the lives of humanity around the world and how we truly aren't all that different. In Morocco, a troubled married couple are on vacation trying to work out their differences. Meanwhile, a Moroccan herder buys a rifle for his sons so they can keep the jackals away from his herd. A girl in Japan dealing with rejection, the death of her mother, the emotional distance of her father, her own self-consciousness, and a disability among many other issues, deals with modern life in the enormous metropolis of Tokyo, Japan. Then, on the opposite side of the world the married couple's Mexican nanny takes the couple's 2 children with her to her son's wedding in Mexico, only to come into trouble on the return trip. Combined, it provides a powerful story and an equally powerful looking glass into the lives of seemingly random people around the world and it shows just how connected we really are.

Plot
A family of five, their two goats and donkey live in the middle of nowhere far from their village home. They earn meager living by producing & selling charcoal, made from the surrounding trees. The father and son are the only ones who ever return to their native village. The Mother & two daughters have not left this place since the day they abandoned home, 10 years ago. One day the father decides to provide running water for the family by illegally diverting water onto their land. The three women recoil from the idea but the teenage son obeys submissively anything to be allowed to continue attending school. The water surging through the pipe parallels the surging resentment the family feels towards the father. He brought them to this place against their will and they know the reason they left their home is also the reason they can never return, but the newly free-flowing water on their land re-awakens the instinctive desire for freedom they have been repressing all these years.

The unanimous hit of the 1972 Cannes Film Festival - An Israeli love story you will never forget.
People always talk about (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
All the things their all about (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Write it on a piece of paper,
Got a feeling I'll see you later.
There's something bout this,
Lets keep it moving,
And if it's good lets just get something cooking.
Coz I really wanna rock with you,
I'm feeling some connection to the things you do.
(you do, you do).
(Chorus:)
I don't know what it is,
That makes me feel like this,
I don't know who you are,
But you must be some kind of superstar,
Cuz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are,
(you just make me wanna play)
Baby take a look around (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Everybody's getting down (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Deal with all the problems later,
Bad boys on their best behaviour.
There's something bout you,
Lets keep it moving,
And if it's good lets just get something cooking,
Coz I really wanna rock with you,
I'm feeling some connection to the things you do,
(you do, you do).
I don't know what it is,
That makes me feel like this,
I don't know who you are,
But you must be some kind of superstar,
Cuz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are,
(you just make me wanna play).
I like the way your movin' (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
I just get into the groove and then (you just make me wanna play),
If you just put pen to paper (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Got that feeling I'll see you later.
Make your move, can we get a little closer,
You rock it just like you're supposed to,
Hey boy I ain't got nothing more to say,
Coz you just make me wanna play,
I don't know what it is,
That makes me feel like this,
I don't know,
Gotta be, gotta be a superstar,
All eyes on you.
