Current Israeli Stories Avi Nesher created live characters, each with its own story.
The film tells about a young couple Shahara and Anat, who decided to “lakhzor betshuwa” (return to observing the commandments), they have a turbulent past, Shahar was a popular singer, a female favorite, plus drug addiction. But the picture is not going to tell you why he suddenly decided to change everything for sure not out of a good life. Anat followed him.
The main line is the conflict between Anat’s parents, who have long been divorced, and do not approve of her choice and her religious path and daughter. Tali and Yonatan are divorced, Jonathan is a successful psychologist who has long left his family and lives in the United States. Tali, hoping to upset the wedding of her daughter with an unreliable chosen one, decides to even take such an unpleasant step as to summon an ex from the states. This helps her, her father-in-law is Shlomo, a practicing psychologist.
Pommio of this there is another interesting line - a married couple who hate each other, and between these two fires is their son. Their story organically fits into the overall line of the film, and in the end all the characters are connected.
I understand that this description is a bit like a soap opera. But I assure you, this is a very natural and realistic picture, in addition to the drama there is subtle humor, irony and a lot of deep thoughts about important things and the true motives of our behavior.
It is a beautiful work that will certainly be more interesting for all Israeli viewers. But in principle, I am sure that it will also attract those who watch Israeli cinema for the first time, because much of this film is universal - the relationship between parents and children, religion and personal beliefs, the ability to make their own decisions and take responsibility.
