We liked this movie because it was about relationships.
You really believed in the family relationships and the friendships.
However, I can see through some of the plot holes in this film.
It is sweet, but the script is not very deep or strong.
One of the redeeming qualities it the nudity, without which this movie might be a bit tedious and untrue to the era which it was trying to depict (1968).
It did not escape my attention that it was supposed to take place in Eilat, before detente with Egypt, which was then a backwater hoping for the tourist trade, which now has come to pass.
The most salient feature is that it highlights some of the tensions between some of the immigrant communities that helped to populate Israel, some policies relating to that have dispossessed Palestinians from their homes.
However, let me be clear, this movie shows a part of bonding amongst the many different parts of diaspora Jews, and that is probably the best thing.
