Percolates with just the right amount of lust and apprehension.
I found this film very watchable, although the ending was perhaps rather melodramatic. A [gay] love story with the background of the never-ending cycle of violence in the middle east.
The 'making-of' in the 'extras' section was also a useful addition explaining some of the context of the filming. The mediterrranean, lively atmosphere of the city of Tel Aviv itself is also an important part of the film.
