The Idealist is a very personal, poetic look on Lova Eliav, one of the giants who pioneered the state of Israel. In 1967 Eliav (who was liked by Prime Minister Levi Eshkol & Golda Meir) seemed a sure candidate for Prime minister. Yet his decision to call upon a two states solution for both Israelis and Palestinians, was made at a time when such an idea was considered heresy - Subsequently, he left his comfortable position in the ruling Labor Party. Meanwhile, while Arik Sharon and Shimon Peres were shaping the face of the country, Eliav remained in political exile in his on back yard.
