Great works of art enable us to grasp the universal thru exquisite presentation of the particular.
In this astonishing first feature, precocious young director Nir Bergman presents the story of an `ordinary' Israeli family. But once we understand that the missing father is actually Yitzhak Rabin (the Israeli Prime Minister assassinated by a right-wing Jewish zealot in 1995), it's also a brilliant metaphorical examination of the national psyche. I know of no film that better explains both who the Israelis are today & who they want to be.
The whole world needs to listen!
