Movie Haiku:Israeli candidate for 2012 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Jan loves this film as a perfect microcosm/macrocosm family dramedy. Rich appreciates the universal father/son dynamics & the more unique story of generational transfer in Israel (from the founding Sabras to their more cosmopolitan successors), but the comic elements that cracked Jan up left Rich cold.
