Read Full Synopsis »
Itzhak is a boy who dreams of becoming a director of successful films; he aspires to be the future Spike Lee of Israel. Itzhak goes around his neighborhood filming everyone and everything. From Itzhak's point of view, his neighborhood and family stories are revealed on screen. His family, with much optimism, emigrated from Ethiopia to Israel. They make their home in a poor neighborhood, full of crime and drugs, but still Gita, Itzhak's grandfather, successfully protects and unites the whole family, while providing his children and his children's children with a good upbringing. A surprising chain of events undermines Gita's control over his family. Conflict is ignited by the clash of generations, specifically between the Ethiopian customs cherished by Gita and his wife and the younger generation's desire to assimilate with Israeli culture.
STARRING: Meir Desai, Avinu Beru , Esther Rada, Tamar Imla, Daniel Beru
