Plot
The film is a romantic comedy that takes place in Israel during the austerity period of the 1950s. The main character is Alex, a 12-year-old boy who is about to turn 13 and attend his bar mitzvah .
Alex comes from a poor, dysfunctional family of Polish Jewish origin whose poverty requires them to share their apartment. Their tenant is Faruk, a Persian man whose humorous battle against baldness is a running bit in the film.
At first, Alex falls in love with Mimi, the new girl in his class. Everything changes, however, when his aunt Lola arrives in Israel from Poland to search for a lost love with whom she once lived but who vanished after the Nazi invasion of Poland . Alex falls for his aunt and she responds by providing the soon-to-be 13 year old with more than familial love.
The film authentically recreates the atmosphere of the country in the 1950s, known as the Austerity in Israel , including the black market , radio broadcasts concentrating on the searchfor lost relatives, music and pastimes ofthe 1950s and the era's clothing and dress styles. DOWNLOAD IN 3GP
