1998, 35mm, 90 minutes Hebrew with English subtitles Director: Michal Bat-Adam DC Premiere Sunday, December 5, 5:00 pm Tuesday, December 7, 9:15 pm |
| Nina (Michal Zuaratz) is a 20-something photojournalist in Tel Aviv whose life is changed suddenly while taking pictures of a suicide attempt. Captured in one of her crowd shots is the face of a stranger with whom Nina falls madly and inexplicably in love. She begins searching all over town, trying to identify him. This quest for the man to whom she feels irresistibly drawn is contrasted with her relationship with two elderly men who play important roles in her life her grandfather (Yossi Yadin) who taught her photography and an old widower from whom she rents a room. This intimate film is both uniquely Israeli with its portrayal of a tight-knit society where any stranger can be no more than a few degrees of separation away, and universal in its message about the power of passion, love and the difference between the two. |
