and the result is a cheesy 'half comedy' a la Hollywood in the settings of one of our times greatest tragedies. The film starts with a bus bombing and the son of one of the victims are called to his family in Israel. So far the plot works but when Shin Beth recruits him for an intelligence mission to the west bank and he immediately starts a romance with a Palestinian doctor it turns into a romantic comedy spiced with some action scenes. From there it drifts off the initial grave subject into an adventure, romance with stereotypical characters, a jealous Palestinian boyfriend, unfair and traditional father and so on. Don't see this film! If this subject interests you I highly recommend 'Waltz with Bashir' by Ari Folman instead.
