Dir. Amir Wolf, 105 min, Narrative

Nominated for 10 Israeli Academy Awards, Amir Wolf’s electrifying directorial debut is an intelligent and pacey thriller boasting screen-stealing performances from Israeli stars Gila Almagor and Mali Levi. After the body of an eighty-year-old man is found in a river with a number tattooed along his forearm, Ammon, a police detective and second-generation Holocaust survivor, reluctantly accepts the case and struggles to bring it to a quick close. The investigation leads him to a tattoo parlor and a club of Holocaust survivors with a zest for life, who seek solace in romantic recollections of their pre-war world. As the plot rewinds through the victim’s final months, a story of deadly dalliances, desire, loneliness and rejection emerges, connecting two characters of different generations, both tied to the Holocaust and spurned by society.
