A Place in Heaven
A Film by: Yossi Madmony
(Israel, 2013, 117 Minutes, Color, Hebrew. English subtitles, Cast: Alon moni Aboutboul, Tom Graziani, Rotem Zisman-Cohen, Yossi Pollak, Keren Berger, Sophia Ostritsky, Michael Aloni, Sasha Avshalom Agarounov,Gabi Amrani)

A young officer, in the early days of the State of Israel, returns from a successful operation. He is very hungry. The assistant army cook offers him a ridiculous deal. The cook will make the officer’s favorite spicy omelet in exchange for the officer’s place in heaven.

Forty years later, the officer is now a retired general, lonely and bitter, lying on his death bed. His son, who has become newly religious, decides to search for the assistant cook who, forty years earlier, bought his father’s place in heaven and to convince the cook to cancel the contract. If he succeeds he will save his father from hell and perhaps find serenity for himself.
