Finally, after more than a hundred years of bloodshed, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about to be resolved. The ideal solution has been reached: a soccer game. One game that will decide who gets to stay in the holy land, and who must go.
The 90-Minutes War follows the preparations, the crises and the drama leading to the fateful game from the meetings at the International Football Association in Geneva to the town in Portugal where the game will be played. Funny, sad, wild and politically incorrect, this political comedy kicks this exhausting conflict to the sidelines, where it belongs .
Filmography: Eize Makom Nifla (2005), Teum Kavanot (2003), Zirkus Palestina (1998).
