America

An Israeli man returns to Israel after 10 years in America. An encounter with a childhood friend and his future wife will change everyone’s lives. A story set between a flower shop and an ancient monastery, a swimming pool and the Mediterranean Sea, life and death – and somewhere in the middle. After the success of ”The Cakemaker,” writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer returns with an affectionate tribute to 60s and 70s cinema in a film full of emotion, color and fragrance that pays homage to values such as friendship, love and moral responsibility.

WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: The new, sophomore film from the director of the multi-award winning film “The Cakemaker.” A well told tale of friendship, love, loss, and responsibility that takes place in Israel and Chicago. Director Ofir Raul Grazier will be at the festival to present the film as our closing night event.
