CGiii Comment

Arava, an introverted yet fierce teenage girl, returns home after spending six months in a secluded rehab facility. She immediately reunites with her old-time troublemaker friend, Tzipi. Despite Arava's will to keep out of trouble, Tzipi convinces her to embark on a spontaneous trip to a Northern Jewish sanctum in pursuit of a mystical tradition of redemption. The two runaways hitchhike through small-town Israel as they encounter characters and situations that hold a mirror to their lives, their inner conflicts, and their ambivalent relationship with one another. Arava is a story of friendship and unquenched passion between two young girls in an unsafe world, but beyond that, it is a portrait of the complexity, magic, pain and hope in the realities of at-risk youth in Israel.
