Interesting Film

I saw this movie in my Hebrew class as a pre-Chanukah treat. The movie brings to life the people of Israel and makes a non-Israeli understand the everyday conflicts. An excellent example is when the Arab waves a gun around to steal lettuce for a rabbit, but no police are called and the gas station attendants merely remark that it is a "crazy country." The ending of the movie is a shock but helps solidify the reality that exists in Israel. And, of course, for a Jewish Hebrew student, the culture aspect of the movie was very important. I would definitley recommend it.

Authentic in many ways, and beautifully acted and directed.

Reflects dramatically the melting pot, nay, pressure cooker atmosphere in Israel. It was filmed beautifully, apparently all on location.

Cultural variations in this tiny country were well displayed. Casting and characterizations were excellent, translations in the subtitles were excellent, and the actions were all believable. Although this film is about three years old, situations and attitudes depicted in it still exist.
