English title: Sweet Mud.
In a kibbutz in Israel, a boy is affected by the ordeals of his mother, upon whom the lifestyle of the kibbutz weighs. The arrival of her non-Jewish boyfriend will trigger a series of conflicts.
Critical portrayal of a kibbutz, seen as an oppressive environment. The political implication seems to be that there is always a trade-off between equality and freedom. The film is not very attractive, despite its interesting subject and story. It didn't seem convincing that the main character wouldn't just pack and leave before things reached a point of no return. Also, the mise-en-scene is too rigid and unnatural.
