The Other Son (2012 film)

The Other Son (original title: Le Fils de l'Autre) is a 2012 French drama film directed by Lorraine Lévy.

The film centers on Joseph Silberg (Jules Sitruk), who is about to turn 18 years old and serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.

Due to a bombing attack that occurred on the night he was born, Joseph and another baby were taken to shelters for safety and switched by mistake.

The story develops reflecting the issues of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in which both fathers are reluctant to accept the situation while the mothers are more open to the possibility of becoming close with their biological children.

As the boys become friends, their families have to re-evaluate their beliefs and xenophobia prior to connecting with their true identity.
