Reviews
“Despite the serious subject, the sensitively and densely staged drama has definitely humorous moments. The universal history reflects a widespread mood within Israeli society beyond the framework of the private. "
“In his debut film, director Nir Bergman describes how a family deals with the loss of a loved one with restraint and yet full of warmth, emotion and absurd wit. He skilfully interweaves the different behaviors and creates the difficult balance between tragedy and comedy without ever becoming flat or trivial. "
