"Strangers", is a triology on the Middle East conflict directed by the Israeli Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv. The triology consists of three short films that tell a tale: when mutual fear and hatred are overcome by unexpected emotions.
The first of the three short films, a 2003/2004 production tells the compelling tale of two young men, one Arab and one Jewish who are motivated by fear to overcome their racial prejudice and hatred when suddenly confronted with a menacing gang of skinheads. Won Best Short at Sundance Film Festival 2004.
The second "Strangers", 2007, tells another compelling story - one of love, hatred, confusion and sex between Eyal and Rana.

But things get complicated as the Israel-Lebanon war breaks the calmity in July 2006.
A synopsis of the short film can be found on imDB.
