Two girls met in the wilderness of Jerusalem. One from Israel, and the other from Palestine. They couldn’t care less, because they were happy running around the wilderness together. However, when reality hit them, they questioned if it was okay to be friends with enemies. They decided to be friends because that is what they wanted. But as the war went on, they were separated unwillingly.

Those two girls never had a chance to meet again to talk about their hearts. So they come back to the wilderness, alone.
