- DirectorAssi DayanStarsGavri BanaiShlomo Bar-ShavitShmil Ben AriDoctor Yoel Pomerantz is a washed-up, self-loathing psychologist who lives on the 12th floor of a high-rise with his Aspberger's son, Yoav, who spends his days pretending to be a traffic cop and proudly giving out parking tickets. Dr. Pomerantz sees a few patients a week, barely enough to keep he and Yoav in ramen noodles and with a roof over their heads. In addition, he works shifts at a suicide hotline. When he gets desperate financially, he recruits hotline callers to see him privately, which is discovered and results in his getting unceremoniously fired. (Meanwhile Yoav is getting a blow job from a would-be parking offender, Bracha Nachmias.) Except that the former hotline callers keep coming, and begin offering Pomerantz cash to jump from his balcony to their deaths. One such jumper is followed by her niece, who comes looking for her aunt moments after Pomerantz decides himself to jump, as he realizes he has hit bottom with his new "business". Meanwhile Yoav has come home from "work" and ends up preventing the niece from jumping onto her aunt, then comforting her on the loss of her aunt, and finally telling her he loves her and will look after her.Last Assi Dayan

on DVD - DirectorAmit LiorStarsTzahi GradMoshe IvgyElisheva MichaeliCafe Tales is the story of five Israeli men and their efforts to save a local cafe from demolition. The film addresses in a comical and usually edgy way the ironies of fate and the difficulties of life, as well as representing a slice-of-life picture of contemporary Israeli society. The owner of the cafe is an ancient, grandmotherly, but nevertheless incredibly sharp-tongued and foul-mouthed lady named Leah Braun (Elisheva Michaeli), who remains committed to the cafe she and her late husband had built over thirty years, despite her daughter Nurit's (Tzipor Eisen-Lior) uncertainties about its continued viability. The narrator, Yutz (Moshe Ivgy), an out-of-work divorced poet, relies on the cafe as the center of his life, and has done so for 30 years, and assembles an unlikely group of four other cafe customers - approximately his friends - to help defend the cafe they have all loved, ultimately saving it from destruction by coming together through a complex machination of what initially appeared to be a series of unfortunate strokes of fate.For years they said they would close Cafe Tamar on Sheinkin Street. Last year 2015 They Did. This Film on DVD now is Based on it. As Usual the Ivgies are Great!
