Defying checkpoints, desert squalls, and blazing heat, Gabriel and Isaac embark on a road trip through Jericho and past the Dead Sea to a storied village in the West Bank--a daring act in a divided country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyrical and languorous, shattering and profound, \u003ci\u003eEden at Dawn\u003c\/i\u003e is a feast of love in the midst of war.
