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.
