a really good movie

i saw this movie on the Israeli movie channel on YES5 channel. the story of the two teenagers that murdered a taxi driver without a reason caused a great shock in Israel. it was on all newspapers and on TV. those two teenagers lived among normative and supporting families , and despite that turned to the life of crime. the movie tries to show what happened before that murder and the things which, may have, led to it. the movie shows the helplessness of all involved in trying to get these two teenagers back on track: school principle, the councilor, even the police and the court can't help. this movie makes you wonder if the "system of justice" can handle this kind of teenagers which are protected till the age of 16 by immunity-by-law. recommended.
