Numa sala perto de mim #296

The Other Son (2012) a movie about the discovery of the switch of two babies at birth, eighteen years after the fact. In the meantime a Jew has been living with a Palestinian family in the West Bank and an Arab has been raised a Jew in Tel Aviv. What is identity? What are genetic traits? What are innate preferences? What is family? What part of an individual is shaped by the environment? The Israeli and Palestinian cultures are quite distinguished but their take on this problem is rather similar, and very different from Japan's.
