An Israeli man returns to his home country after ten years
in America. An emotional encounter with a childhood friend and his future-wife
will change everyone’s lives. An engrossing drama that unfolds in lush settings
(a flower shop, an ancient monastery, a swimming hole, and the Mediterranean
Sea), America absorbs its characters, and the movie’s viewers,
in matters of life, death, and love. After the success of The Cakemaker,
writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer returns with a film full of emotion and moral
complexity, and beauty. It is held together by three indelible performances by
its young stars. (Israel, 2022, 127min., In Hebrew & English | Dir.
Ofir Raul Graizer)
