The Levis are a large, fun-loving family in early 1980s Israel. The father advises his children every day on the importance of fulfilling their dreams, while his wife preaches absolute family loyalty. Their summer holiday is usually filled with dances, flirting, and the playful hijinks, but this summer the family’s idyllic life is shattered when twin brothers Erez and Ofer fall in love with the same girl. The biggest box office success in Israel in 2008, this autobiographical drama (based loosely on the director’s family) features an all-star Israeli cast and provides an entertaining yet incisive look at loyalty and betrayal, and the power of love versus the bonds of family.
