Hand in Hand

In this heartwarming tale, an unlikely friendship blossoms between a young Roman Catholic boy and a Jewish girl, defying the societal norms of prejudice and hatred that threaten to tear them apart.

In the English town of Springfield, two teenagers, Michael and Rachel, form a strong bond despite their initial disagreement at school. They spend all their free time together, sharing dreams of having tea with the Queen and going on a big game hunting trip in Africa. Their parents, who are from different religious backgrounds, initially approve of their friendship. However, their bond is put to the test when Rachel's family considers moving away and when a classmate reveals a fundamental difference between their religions. As they face these challenges, they must decide whether their friendship is stronger than their individual ties to their respective faiths, with potentially tragic consequences.
