A brass band comprised of members of the Egyptian police force head to Israel to play at the inaugural ceremony of an Arab arts center. But due to bureaucracy, bad luck, or for whatever reason, they find themselves stranded in a desolate, almost forgotten, small Israeli town, somewhere in the heart of the desert.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Dan DiNicola
