A Day in the Life of Abed Salama

Interwoven with Abed's odyssey are the stories of Jewish and Palestinian characters whose lives and pasts unexpectedly converge: a kindergarten teacher and a mechanic who rescue children from the burning bus, an Israeli army commander and a Palestinian official who confront the aftermath at the scene of the crash, a settler paramedic, ultra-Orthodox emergency service workers, and two mothers who each hope to claim one severely injured boy.
