HA ME'AHEV or THE LOVER is brimming with shapely attractive females barely dressed and undressed. A man has a sexy wife and a 15 year old daughter with sexy teen friends. All of the remarkably shapely 15 year old girls seek to show themselves nude before the husband, and/or have physical relations with him. Speaking of physical relations, the wife has a lover, as well as the teen daughter. When not having sex, the teen girlie-girls lounge around in thong panties and unbuttoned shirts. The only time anyone in the film wears a bra is when it is going to be removed at the start of a love scene. Did I mentioned students in Israeli schools wear hot pants uniforms?

Palistines are having sex with the Israelis, so maybe the point of the movie is make love not war. I don't know. There is a good deal of serious social-political talk between the nudity.

Michal Bat-Adam is shapely and womanly. Avigail Ariely, Eves Hativ, and Noa Itzki are very perky teens (if I have ID'ed them correctly). I can't say this is a good film, but I will watch it again the next time it repeats on AZN.
