When Reuben, an 80-year-old actuary who lives by statistics, loses both his wife and her insurance money at the swimming pool, he’s forced into a reluctant partnership with his free-spirited granddaughter. Their bumbling investigation among eccentric pool regulars turns into a funny, heartfelt journey proving that while you can calculate almost anything, you can’t predict love or family.
Why we like this film: Excellent acting, writing, and quality production values. A story with some twists.

In Jerusalem during the Six Day War, a young civilian leaves her family to serve her country; a man who abhors war must fight within sight of his home; and a group of paratroopers are dispatched to the city for a battle they never trained for.
Why we like this film: Remarkably, this is the first feature film about the 6 Day War. However, more than a war film, this movie tells the story of the recapture of the Western Wall through the eyes of a remarkable woman, Sarah, who is based on a real person and the events she experienced.
