The Band's Visit

In this comedy, a group of Egyptian police musicians embark on a cultural exchange trip to Israel, but their journey takes an unexpected turn when they arrive at the wrong destination.

In Israel, a cultural event goes awry as the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrives without a delegation to meet them. Stranded in the remote town of Beit Hatikva, the band, led by the repressed Tawfiq Zacharaya, finds help from the worldly lunch owner, Dina. As they settle in for the night, each member tries to connect with the locals in their own way, leading to a night of quiet moments and confessions that leave a lasting impact on both the town and the band.
