An unexpected insight into an almost forgotten time in history
By Ben Dadds from Oxford , 07 Dec 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
With all the goings on in and around Israel today most people have forgotten how the nation came into existence in the first place.
This film follows a number of Jews fleeing Europe after the WW2 and is set over the first 24 hours or so of their arrival in Israel. Its a slow starter partly due to the notable absence of a score, but about half way through it rapidly picks up and becomes very much a war movie in a similar vain to Saving Private Ryan or The Thin Red Line.
Sensitive issues are explored, including the hardships imposed on the Arabs by the birth of the nation. A poignant and personal view of some lesser discussed events made for an Israeli, not a European, audience.- Was this review helpful to you?

(3)Total Rubbish!!
By a customer from England , 20 Jun 2007A previous reviewer had said this film was a slow starter. Well I watched it for an hour and a half waiting for some sort of storyline to emerge .... then it ended!! This is one of the most boring films I have ever watched, it just never get's going.
Also the only likeness to 'Saving Private Ryan' was some guns and a bit of blood. Not in anyway in the same league as 'Saving Private Ryan'- Was this review helpful to you?

i agree with the review ben has given
By sanchez from scotland , 12 Feb 2007i found this is a interesting film as i do not know loads about this time but do know that i am not infavour of israel's handling of themselves since they were alloted some land after the war. it is all tragic and it was good to see how the start of the nation of israel came into being. their present actions recently and last 40 years seem unjust. i am not of a religion but why must there be a homeland for jews? not every religion has a homeland. why is the bible so sacred? i agree a film for israeles not for europians.- Was this review helpful to you?
