For My Father(Sof Shavua B'Tel Aviv)

S
o often we read of suicide bombers and think of them only as radical terrorists. This film gives a view into the life of one such bomber. The characters are well developed in this story about an incident in Tel Aviv. Strapped into a vest of explosives, young Palestinian Terek (Shredi Jabarin) enters Tel Aviv on a suicide mission to restore his father's honor. But a faulty fuse leaves him stranded among Israelis, and he begins to question his ingrained beliefs about his enemy. While he waits the weekend for a repair, he meets beautiful Keren (Hili Yalon). Still wearing his remote-controlled bomb, Terek must decide his fate before a decision is made for him
The location reeks of the realism of today.good direction and camera work move the story along at a good pace.
