I really enjoyed this film. Surprising in so many ways: it's from Israel, yet not about politics; the protagonists are a gay couple, but it's not really a gay movie -- the issues are universal; it's sad, yet not heavy -- the story, and the film zips along. The actors, direction, and cinematography are top-notch. Highly recommended!

The confrontation of a man against himself. In a world becoming blanck, he must decides his fair attitude about events out of his controll. And he has an option, not so rare, but not often confesed, a kind of form of adaptation to near reality, not easy, not simple, but enough for suggest a large fist of questions to viewer.

Because he lives in a ball of frustrations, fears and egotism , without feel the fair answer about relations with the others, especially with his boy friend. The pregnancy of a very good friend is the kick to total desorientation.

Provocative can be good definition of story but, more significant, beautiful performances.

For some reasons escaping explanations, no doubts, a great film about a form of grief.

Portrait of a battle and the relation with beloved one, it is a precise crafted story of survive.

Breaking Glass Pictures (a globally-connected media company that focuses on finding cutting edge independent films in every genre from around the world) brings to DVD/VOD on 4/28/20 this LGBT film about two Israeli men, the young Dan (Udi Persi) ready for the next step in their relationship and the mature alpha partner Yoav ( Oded Leopold) who can't get over his past family and settling down demons. With most male gay themed films requiring a good female friend, the beautiful Ruti Asarsai (Alma) does a nice job working amongst the guys. Unfortunately, it is her pregnancy (from someone) that turns Yoav against Dan and all of their relationships. While the story is plausible, the English subtitles move way too fast, and director/writer Yuval Hadadi falls victim to wearing too many hats. He continually presents numerous scenes where absolutely nothing happens and/or is said, Yoav's character isn't explained clearly enough to make the viewer want to care about him, and Alma's pregnancy is quickly pushed to the backstory. The film runs 1 1/2 hours, but felt like "15 YEARS".

Interesting how the storyline developed. The acting is good by all characters. There were a few unanswered questions but this was a movie where your imagination had the answers. The movie is basically about one person's introspective of relationships and themselves after 15 years. Not a cut and dry ending - some movies don't need to have one. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Only wished the female character had more scenes - she was so interesting.

This film was wonderfully done. I didn't expect that the story line would be applicable to everyone... It just shows that we all experience love, rejection and insecurity in the same ways, be we straight or gay or otherwise. Yuval's writing was beautiful as was the acting, the filming and direction. The only reason I gave this film 9 stars and not 10 is that I wished that the reasons behind the main character's angst would have been more fully developed. His angst was very real though: i just wasn't sure where it came from: clearly something had gone on with his father, just wanted to know what. (But perhaps that would have taken away from the real direction of the movie's story.) Overall, the film moved really well and I was thoroughly engaged from the get go. Highly recommend it!
