Over a hot summer day in 1947, over a grandstand overlooking Jerusalem, Elias and Lila fall deeply, irrevocably in love. Tragically, they result from two different worlds. Elias is a Religious Arab living on the eastern side of the recently divided city, and Lila is a Jew living on the american side. A growing turmoil between their ethnicities casts a heavy shadow over the region and their burgeoning marriage. Between them lay not only a wall of rock and barbed wire but also the bitter enmity of two countries at war. Informed in the words of Elias as he appears back after the long years of his life, About the Nights is a well-timed storyline of how hope can nourish us, loss can devastate us, and love can take us beyond the limitations that hold humans apart.
