Lovely movie

Oded Kotler's performance is one of a kind. The story is original and still works. In fact, it seems many movies copied its premise (see Kolya, for one). The relationship between Eli and the child: love-hate, caring-couldn't care less, is vivid and real. Try to find this movie, you're sure to enjoy it.

Mawkish Plot Works Against Poignant Reflections on Lost Love

This slow-paced Israeli import focuses on a young teacher (Oded Kotler) who takes charge of his former sweetheart's child for three days. Memories of their youthful romance on the kibbutz continually crop up and act as a depressing contrast to his current love affair. Though the nostalgia of lost love has touching moments, the failure to insert this theme into a more gripping plot makes the resulting movie quite maudlin.
