Zero Degrees of Separation is a feature-length documentary examining a unique and complex relationship between two lovers, two nations, less than 3 kilometres apart. Selim and Ezra, a gay Palestinian-Israeli couple, are fighting for the right to live together in Jerusalem . Edit and Samira, a lesbian Palestinian-Israeli couple, are trying to figure out how to bridge the divide between their cultures - often so close and yet so far. Through the lives of these two couples we gain a unique perspective on the Middle East conflict. Interwoven with archival footage belonging to director Elle Flanders' grandparents, Zero Degrees of Separation takes on the larger questions of humanity, conflict and nationalist aspiration. Existing on the margins of their societies, the couples allow us a unique perspective of individuals who cross borders daily, sometimes physically, sometimes metaphorically, defying the notion of an eternal conflict with impermeable borders.
