In this captivating and surprisingly nuanced musical set in the euphoria of Israel’s 1967 victory, the lives of two couples from Kibbutz Netzer Sirani take dramatic turns post-war. Neta Agmon’s acting career takes off just as her husband comes back from the war, forever changed. While Neta’s star rises, she faces a personal battle at home, trying to reconnect with the man she once knew. Amidst a nation celebrating, they navigate the unseen aftermath of war and the challenge of keeping love alive.
Referencing fixtures of American culture like Funny Girl and A Star is Born—and even Israeli ones such as Gioria Godik (Kazablan), Uri Zohar and Hanoch Levin—filmmaker Eliran Peled (Cinema Rex, TJFF2022) is part of a new immensely creative generation of Israeli filmmakers who are embracing American genre cinema and adapting it to their country’s existential reality.
