He plays an American soldier during WWII (I think) that is sent to a Jerusalem hospital to recover from injuries where he meets and falls in love with a girl from a Sephardic family. They speak a lot of Ladino in the film and when the girl explains that her family is from Spain, Hanks asks her how long they've been in Jerusalem and she responds with... about 400 years. Worth seeing just to hear the Ladino. Reminds me of this old, old, Tom Hanks movie called Everytime We Say Goodbye (1986).

And you usually get to hear it too! ;) That is one of the things I really love about Israel – almost everyone comes from somewhere else and they have a “story.” And you usually get to hear it too!

I've been struggling to find where my mother's family originated before settling in Aleppo. I know a distant relation fled Turkey with one of the Sassoons and resettled in Egypt (I'm told there was a book published about this escaped in the 1920s). But we always suspected that we had been in Spain at some point. Maybe one day I'll find out. Fabulous!
