Daniel and Ismail, one Jewish and the other Palestinian, don't know each other yet, but they have more in common than they know. They meet by chance on a soccer field, and they soon begin to play together and show off the tricks they can do. That night, Daniel and Ismail have nightmares about what they have seen on the news and heard from adults about the other group. But the next day, they find each other in the park and get back to what really matters: having fun and playing the game they both love.
