Über diesen Film

As he is preparing to join the Israeli army for his national service, Joseph discovers he is not his parents' biological son, and that he was inadvertently switched at birth with Yassin, the son of a Palestinian family from the West Bank. THE OTHER SON is the moving and provocative story of a revelation that turns the lives of these two families upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, their values and their beliefs. © Pinnacle Films 2012 (Original Title: The Other Son)

Wow - so emotional - takes a "soap opera" cliche and explores it with subtly and emotion. Brings out the political themes without resorting to anything overbearing. Great performance and cast. I was very moved.

Two families one Jewish and the other Palestinian are forced to reconsider their values when each has a child they love who is now also their enemy. There is much to learn and to cope with.
