A piercing, gripping, and moving Israeli family story. On the occasion of his 80th birthday, Ari Feld—a former Palmach fighter, a charismatic and tempestuous man—invites his son and grandson to a weekend at his home in Crete. What is supposed to be a festive gathering of three generations of Israeli men quickly turns into an explosive collision between past and present, between wounds that never healed. In an old house facing the sea, family secrets are exposed, old scores settled, war traumas and questions about generational inheritance, masculinity, old age, and death come to light. Between glasses of raki, sharp humor, and moments of grace, each of the men is forced to look anew at his father, his son—and at himself. This is a contemporary, sharp, and moving Israeli play that weaves turbulent family drama with a keen perspective on the entire Israeli narrative: what passes from generation to generation, and what can still be changed. Cast: Oded Kotler, Itcho Abutol, Adam Gabai, Dina Blei, Yoav Bar-Lev, and Hagi Cohen.
