action
At the center of the dramatic events is a family in Israel. The head of the family, David, owns a plantation and is married to Miriam. She gave birth to two sons, Jack and Emanuel. The third child, a nameless daughter, is not recognized by Miriam's husband. She was deported to a Swiss boarding school. When David dies, she returns to the family's lap and causes erotic unrest between Jack and Emanuel, one of whom is a cute pilot lieutenant, the other a little bit of self-indulgent life artist.
Both young men do not know who the young woman who is supposed to be their sister is. As once with Cain and Abel, there is a fratricidal dispute, because everyone wants the beautiful stranger to himself, and as once with the Old Testament siblings, this story also ends in fratricide after mother Miriam has not intervened and the young widow instead pursues her own lust and she had a tête-à-tête with her brother-in-law in a hotel.
Production notes
Chamsin was filmed in Jerusalem from February 22 to April 2, 1970 in collaboration with the Israeli film company Israfilm Motion Pictures Services and premiered in Germany on June 16, 1972, with a long delay.
Reviews
The lexicon of the international film tore the strip and found it was a "stylistically and dramatically completely unsuccessful directorial debut" Relin.
