The Midnight Orchestra uses humor and compassion to smash stereotypes about Jewish/Muslim relationships. It’s the bittersweet story of Michael (played by Moroccan rising star Avishay Benazra), who went abroad as a child amid racial tensions spurred by the Yom Kippur War. Years later he returns to Casablanca to see his estranged and ailing father, who had been a famous Jewish musician. Michael is eventually tasked with giving his father a proper burial, which entails finding and bringing together the remaining members of his father’s once renowned orchestra, and coming to terms with his own surprising family history.
