I saw a clip of this movie and quite frankly it didn't look too particularly interesting. Ignoring my first impression, I ordered it anyway. What a pleasant surprise! This has become one of my favorite Israeli movies. 

Along with the story I also enjoyed the incredible scenery and lush landscape of this section of Israel. This movie failed to garner much attention probably due to the simplicity of it. 

The one fault I have with Israeli movies - many contain the unnecessary comedic inclusions. Most of the time the actors brought in for a few funny scenes are a nuisance and take away valuable moments that could have been utilized elsewhere. Thankfully not here, the director as well as lead actor Dan Turgeman actually utilized the two or three comedic characters seaming them nicely into the plot - which did not make them appear as an after thought. 

This movie was my initial introduction to the middle and younger sister played by actresses Tamar Kenynan and Avital Abergel. All one can expect from actors is to make you believe they are who they are portraying, and these two ladies did this quite well. As for the older sister portrayed by the wonderful Ayelet Zurer, there just aren't enough adjectives to describe the talent of this lady. Actually, the entire cast was good. 

For a nice easy watch, I recommend this movie (which does have English subtitles).
