User Reviews

gentle portrayal of coping with homosexuality

Robi, a young Israeli boy, struggles to make a film as encounters with friends, family, and lovers shape his screenplay. The plot is somewhat unclear and some scenes seem unnecessary, but overall the film is touching. Maybe it was just my video, but some shots were too dark to even tell what was going on and half the time the subtitles were too light to read. Worth seeing though, with an interesting narrative structure.
