The story deals with a heavy topic, but the movie felt surprisingly lighthearted. It wasn’t laugh-out-loud funny, though the characters certainly acted in amusing ways. Watching it, I noticed similarities to 'Sweet Bean,' not in terms of the subject matter, but rather the way the characters were portrayed. The filmmakers didn't seem to be aiming for that kind of connection, and it was something I felt could have been explored more effectively. The film centers around three generations—a child, a young man, and an older gentleman nearing old age. It’s primarily told from the perspective of that elderly man, marking both the beginning and end of his story. He's grieving the loss of his son, and the narrative starts a week into the mourning period, cleverly sidestepping some of the more obvious emotional scenes. It appears he’s choosing an unconventional way to process his grief. His behavior changes; he becomes less considerate of those around him, especially a neighboring couple, for a specific reason. However, their young son enters the picture, and together they start breaking rules and engaging in mischievous activities. Later, another child joins them, leading to what turns out to be an unforgettable day of adventure. The film concludes with a touch of drama after all the fun. > ❝The fact that you can't see it does not mean it does not exist. You're just not open minded enough.❞ I’ve seen numerous films about coping with loss, some exceptional, others less so. This one felt familiar in its premise, but stood out due to the distinct cultural and societal setting. It’s human nature to sometimes do the opposite of what’s expected when we're unprepared or pressured. The father didn’t consciously choose this path; it was a series of events that carried him along, until he realized how far he had drifted. It felt like a journey of self-discovery—a rediscovery of life itself. Emotions can lead us to unexpected places, and once those feelings subside, we open our eyes to the reality ahead. Therefore, this film might not resonate with everyone experiencing similar circumstances, but it does offer a different perspective. I appreciated the performances of all the main actors, and the music was excellent; it really enhanced the overall experience, particularly during transitions between scenes. I can’t recall when I last watched a Hebrew film, but this one was enjoyable. The way the plot unfolded might not satisfy viewers seeking purely lighthearted entertainment or those who demand strict logic. However, some audiences look for lessons, morals, or messages within a film. Frankly, this movie didn't overtly emphasize any of those elements, yet it also contained them in subtle ways. It’s better than average, falling short of being truly exceptional, but certainly a worthwhile film that some people will find appealing. _7/10_
