Appraisal: Running at little more than one hour, this film is the cinematic equivalent of a short story. Within its differentiated format, I think the film is quite successful in showing a homosexual relationship in a mixed gender military context. It is not clear from the film whether this type of relationship is forbidden in that context (and I don't know whether in the real life Israeli army it is forbidden), but the behavior of the characters seems to indicate that it is at least frowned upon. The film is no cinematic achievement, but it is basically correct and honest and deserves to be seen by anyone remotely interested in human stories with contemporary social relevance.
Rating: 53
