Thomas (Juliano Mer) and his sister Mariana (Semadar Kilchinsky) have arrived together in Tel Aviv and set up housekeeping in the sleazy side of the city.

His unnatural love for his sister goes unexpressed, but his jealousy cannot be controlled. If his sister wants to lead any sort of a normal life, it will be up to her to break her dependence on her brother and move on.
The films of Hungarian born Amos Guttman, who died of AIDS in 1993 at the age of thirty-eight, were among the first to depict gay life in Israel, but they did so from such a lachrymose perspective that they often garnered more criticism than praise in many Israeli gay and lesbian circles.
In his films the protagonists are hopelessly caught in vicious circles of sexual and emotional exploitation. One could approach Guttman’s thinking in a variety of ways. On the one had, he was the product of a time when homosexuality was repressed and marginalized, so his cinematic response might be seen as entirely logical. To purge Israeli society of its internalized homophobia required an unapologetic look at the potential “monsters” that it had created. Similarly, one finds in Guttman a vision of sexuality that was concerned, not with normalizing gayness within existing social structures, but rather with shattering those structures and substituting alternatives in their place.

Kippur
7.2 (5 ratings) director: 阿莫斯·吉泰 actor: Liron Levo / Tomer Russo
other title: 赎罪日 / キプールの記憶
The film takes place in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War in which Egypt and Syria launched attacks in Sinai and the Golan Heights. The story is told from the perspective of Israeli soldiers. We are led by Weinraub and his friend Ruso on a day that begins with quiet city streets, but ends with death, destruction and devastation of both body and mind. Various scenes are awash in the surreal, as Weinraub's head hangs out over a rescue helicopter's open door, watching with tranquil desperation as the earth passes beneath, the overpowering whir of the blades creating a hypnotic state. It is not a traditional blood, guts and glory film. There are no men in battle, only the rescue crew trying to pick up the broken pieces.
