Desert Kids

A documentary about young adults growing up in rural Israel. The Negev Desert not only captures visitors with ist spectacular landscape, it’s also a place of opposites and extremes, a home between two cultures. But both cultures are characterized by strong values, and in both worlds the young people share a feeling of confinement. Can they form their own identity?
