    Cedar is mostly interested in the father-son dynamics, and he cast excellent actors. Lewensohn, a famous Israeli theatrical director, makes his film acting debut, while the veteran Ashkenazi ("Late Wedding") handles his low-key role with bearlike grace.

    This is a film that skims the surface layer of politesse from human interactions and reveals us as the blustering bundles of ego that we all are.
