Four years in the life of Muhammad “Misha” Alsheikh, a talented teenage pianist from Ramallah, who is the son of a Palestinian father and a mother who came from Russia. It takes Muhammad 3 hours to get from his house to a piano lesson with Emma, his Jewish-Israeli teacher. Between checkpoints, auditions and his father’s will that he will become a doctor, he tries to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional pianist – and also stay happy. Mohammad Al-Sheikh Avida Livny, director
