SYNOPSIS
Friends, we’ve found a solution to the Israeli – Palestinian conflict. A football match. The winner gets to stay. The loser leaves, forever, without any claims and whining.
The 90 Minute War is a political fictional satire that captures the drama leading up to the outcome of the game. The story places the Middle East conflict in an entirely different context – a football game. Wild, ridiculous and tragic, the context is not far removed from reality.
Based on a book by Itay Meirson “The 90-Minutes War”.
