10/02/2021 Heartwarming, yet so profoundly sad. Believable. Firth & Tucci ... Great pair. See more walter m @Harlequin68 02/01/2015 Dr. Yossi Gutmann(Ohad Knoller) is a cardiologist in Israel who spends most of his free time watching television and masturbating to gay porn. So, when his soon-to-be-divorced friend Moti(Lior Ashkenazi) suggests he get out more, Yossi accepts Nina's(Ola Schur-Selektar) invitation for the theatre. And then Yossi gets a new patient, Varda(Orly Silbersatz), who is also the mother of his former lover, now dead ten years. As thoughtful and sensitive as "Yossi" is when it comes to observing the long term grieving process, it also proves that sometimes too much understatement can actually work against a movie, too. That's not to mention one of the central plot points is a little too convenient for words.(Although, maybe as one character points out, there really are very few good cardiologists in Israel.) On the plus side, the movie ends on a high note, ten minutes before it would have become completely unbearable.

See more 08/15/2014 Supposedly takes place 10 years after Jagger died tragically on the battlefield. Yossi has certainly put on weight! Here he encounters Jagger's parents, and later on an outgoing young lad named Tom. Great to see Tel Aviv, the Negev desert highway and Eilat again. I kinda enjoyed Eytan Fox's short film 'Time Out' more (which was among the dvd's extras) See more 07/20/2014 gorgeous little Isreali homo flick. Tenderly explores the complexity of looking for love in the aftermath of tragedy and the presence homopobia (external and internal). also the difference towards the attitude in self acceptance of being gay from a gen Y and gen X perspective.
