This film is
about faith, friendship, family and the challenges of being different in
America, as seen through the eyes of Daud, a Muslim boy studying to be
an Imam and his Orthodox Jewish friend, Yoav. Through an innocent act of
good faith, Daud befriends a group of Brooklyn Yeshiva students who
assume he is one of them. "David" plays along, unable to resist the joys
of baseball cards, swimming and music. The web of deceit unravels,
forcing Daud and Yoav to confront the complexities of life in
multicultural Brooklyn, and the reality of prejudice, cultural
boundaries and different religions.
