CGiii Comment

More battling against bonking your best friend...courtesy of that old bigoted religion.

Well-filmed, beautifully coloured...it's an accomplished little film.

Unfortunately, it's a story that has been told a hundred times before...with nothing new added.

Israeli gay cinema is in danger of becoming repetitive...boring, plagiarism.

Young filmmakers should watch a ton of films by their contemporaries before they make their own...then, hopefully, originality will prevail.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Ohad, a young orthodox Jew, is torn between the man he loves and god. Who will he choose?
