Kissufim

A group of young Israeli army graduates volunteer to work on a kibbutz close to the gaza border.

Most of the movie is abut the complex relationships these young people have with each other, with very different memories they have of their army service, and with the reality of being very close to a troublesome border.

Some of the movie is in English because a group of non-Jewish volunteers from Europe come to also work on the kibbutz, they don't speak Hebrew and English is the common language.

There is the development of a love relationship, there is a very angry situation of a girl friend apparently being snatched away by another man, the girl is probably the least attractive of the young women in the group and by making herself freely available to the men she gains popularity.

She is a contrast to the central "heroine" of the movie, the prettiest of the women, who is also still a virgin to everyone's surprise.

The climax of the movie comes with the reality of where they are located, and in very typical Israeli movie style, the viewer is left rather empty, it is not a "hollywood" ending with everything tidied up neatly.

Though some of the women characters come through strongly - not enough is made of them - and the male leads have so much potential for development but are under-developed.
