The film displays a rather drastic difference in the living conditions of Israel and Palestine. We quickly see how Israel has a series of night life, markets and restaurants which is almost a cross of Western culture and their own. People are displayed as much more happier, care free and seem to be going about the lives as an ordinary individual. The Palestinian lifestyle is full of what looks to be poverty and constant danger. There's even blatant signs of oppression against them too as seen by the stories from Eva. The constant danger is shown rather bluntly by the fact there's often bullet holes in the households for that matter too. Then there's the filth and garbage which is strewn across the whole area. Israel has it's fair share of problems in their cities but it is significantly nicer than the literal garbage heaps in Palestine.
