"24 hours in the lives of eleven people living in Sderot and Gaza, whose fates have been bound together by a day in Israel. Boaz, an army officer is longing for a wife and family. Miriam, his mother, is half blind, a powerful woman dealing with the loss of her husband. Miriam is finding it difficult to forgive Shalom, the postman who has left her to deal with his traumatic memory of a road accident he was involved in. Yuval, Boaz's younger brother, wants to succeed in the music world as his way out of the Shderot circle of life. Keren, a single mom, is raising her nine year old daughter Aviv and wants to find a partner, a father for Aviv. Hassan is a former Palestinian journalist photographer from Gaza. He was forced to cooperate with the IDF so that he could save Rallia his daughter and treat her for her illness. Nadra is Hassan's wife, she keeps in close touch with Hassan's sister, Annan, who is married to Asraf a wanted terrorist from Gaza. This narrative film attempts to portray a reality in which forgiveness is difficult, conflict is pervasive, and the need for communication between people is paramount"-- http://www.go2films.com/en/Family-Social-issues/18-Kilometers (as viewed on 9/1/2011)
