Arabs and Jews have lived in ongoing conflict for over a century. A group of dreamers decided to challenge everything they know about their nationalities and histories and founded a village in 1970s Israel as a social experiment. The film follows the many children who were brought up in this unique environment. In this bold attempt to raise a new generation, their internal struggles and the outside conflict challenged their revolutionary ecosystem. The children of peace are now grown men and women dealing with the harsh reality of political turmoil, war and societal segregation.
