2007 The Band’s Visit
An Egyptian police band travels to Israel to play, only to get on the wrong bus and find themselves stranded in a small town in the Negev.
They encounter a few Israeli townspeople, who respond with curiosity about the band, are variously friendly and wary, and provide them with shelter, food, music and companionship during their visit. There is no transportation out of the town that day, and there are no hotels for them to spend the night in.
The band members dine at a small restaurant where the owner invites them to stay the night at her apartment, at her friends' apartment, and in the restaurant. No one quite falls in love, but a sense of unspoken friendship by all occurs.
And sadly but predictably, Amazon nor Netflix feel the need to carry such a movie.
