User Reviews

A powerful couple in a powerful movie

It all starts lightly on a note of romance: beautiful weather, beautiful landscapes, beautiful young people in an Israeli Kibbutz. But this is not gonna last. Behind the romance, there is drama and destruction, destruction because of the hidden and not-so-hidden passions of the characters - present or missing - and destruction because the story is set in the middle of an absurd war. Sophie Marceau and Richard Berry are a powerful couple in a powerful movie.
