On a tumbledown collective farm on Israel’s coast, the Rosko family struggles to keep up appearances while hiding their sins, small and large, from one another. Teacher Miri (Ronit Elkabetz) is having an affair; husband Gidi is surreptitiously unemployed; and late-blooming son Yoni pacifies class bullies by selling them completed homework assignments. When his autistic brother suddenly rejoins the household, tensions mount, secrets emerge and Yoni’s bar mitzvah reading-about Noah and the flood-takes on deeper meanings in this exquisite drama nominated for six Israeli Academy Awards.

DIRECTOR Guy Nattiv will attend the screening in San Francisco. Principal cast members also invited!
