Avanim (Stones)


Directors: Raphael Nadjari
Starring: Assi Levy, Uri Gavriel
Year: 2004

Thirty-year-old Michale (Assi Levy) works with her father (Uri Gavriel) in his Tel Aviv accounting office that is involved in a scheme to pad the number of students to attract money from the government for the construction of a new Yeshiva. She divides her time between her young child, her husband, her work and the man with whom she is having an affair. When Michale learns of the tragic death of her lover, her life is shattered

Comments: How can you not like a movie that has jachnun (a yemenite dish that is traditionally served on Sabbath) in it. Good performance by Assi Levy as a restless, dissatisfied housewife.

Somewhat Recommended.
