Frontiers of Dreams and Fears

In this documentary, two Palestinian girls who both belong to the same cultural center maintain a tight friendship, despite the obstacles imposed by history and circumstance. Mona, 13, lives in a refugee camp in Beirut, while 14-year-old Manar resides in an Israeli-controlled camp near Bethlehem. The friends correspond via letters but can't see each other because of border regulations. Still, despite the risks, they decide to meet each other at the South Lebanon border.
