An extraordinary movie

Uri Omanuti's monologues are stunning. This is so touching that I cried for about a minute at some point.

The conflicts that the characters face and their feelings are easy to relate to because they are part of the life or every person, straight or gay. Watching this movie for the first time in 2013, it's hard to believe it was created 16 years ago. Detaching itself from politics and gay rights issues, it just tells a personal story which is very moving and very real.

This movie is one of the first Israeli movies to depict homosexuality in a positive way, as a normal thing, long before it became widely accepted.
