Description
A sick girl named Helena is taken by an angel on an ancient sailing boat far away over the waves. Their destination: three cities that glow as if blessed of God - one Jewish, one Christian, one Muslim. Helena comes to realize that all these people believe the same divine law - to love God and their fellow man. Saying goodbye to the angel, and returning to her bedroom, she looks at the three gifts; they have become a single gleaming gold disk. On one side are these words: 'One god, many voices, one people'. On the other side, a glimpse of heaven. Text is provided in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
