Blasting through boundaries separating different cultures, eras and generations, Socalled creates a wholly unique sound combining klezmer, funk, soul and hip-hop.

Danielle, a Jew who grew up as a Muslim in Morocco, struggles for the right to bring up her son, Nasser. Nine years after she was forced to leave him and moved to live in Jerusalem, she returns to Morocco to fight for custody. She sets off, apprehensive about the meeting with her son, now 14, whom she hardly knows and with her Muslim family, from which she drifted far apart. She expects to face difficulties due to the Moroccan laws but to her surprise, she finds that the real difficulties come from the society in which she lives. Whilst Nasser, who so movingly reconnects with her, develops hopes to finally reunite with his mother, the Jewish bureaucracy takes its time and puts at risk the fragile confidence built between them.

This is a journey in the footsteps of Amos Oz, his literary writing, and his political beliefs. The journey takes us through his memoir, "A Tale of Love and Darkness” and follows him over a period of two years in his efforts to promote the Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
