Mivtza Savta (Hebrew: מבצע סבתא, "Operation Grandma") is an Israeli cult film directed by Dror Shaul and released in 1999.
The film is a satirical comedy about the Israeli military and kibbutz life. The story revolves around Alon (34), a no-nonsense Israeli Army officer, Benni (30), a brilliant electrician, and Idan (22), a wimpy field trip guide. The film is told from Idan's POV. Three brothers try to bury their beloved grandmother in the kibbutz cemetery. Because Alon has a secret security operation set for that same day, they have to work on a tight schedule, so he plans it like a military operation, hence the title. A series of mistakes and mishaps complicate things. The story takes place in Israel, in the fictional kibbutz "Asisim". Much of the humour is culturally untranslatable, involving very specific aspects of Israeli life and culture: the kibbutz, foreign volunteers, army life, school-trips and Tel-Aviv.
