In the film, viewers will see how the veterans of the city of Arad and its founders, immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Bedouins, Eritrean migrant workers and Sudanese refugees, ultra-Orthodox from the Gur Hasidic community and others live together. The character of a place and the changes it has undergone over decades are revealed through a moving series of encounters with its residents. Zeltzer documents the diversity of the city's population over the course of one summer. She talks to its residents, and sketches a diverse human fabric, an Israeli diversity that makes up the city's demographics today. A microcosm of Israel 2015. Documenting the moments of encounter with the city's people reveals each time another layer of tensions and strangeness, friendships and enemies, racism and the struggle against it, education and culture and politics and past traumas.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
