A Film by: Roee Florentin
(Israel, 2016, 91 min, Hebrew, English subtitles, Cast: Amos Tamam, Maital Gal- Suissa, Mali Levi Gershon).
When Adi was 5 years old, his father died in the war in Lebanon. Before he was called by the army he made him swear he will be a good boy, help his mother and be responsible Before leaving home the father made the son swear he would be a good boy, help his mother and be responsible. Adi kept his promise: he helped more than enough at home, at kindergarten, at school, in the military, in his marriage – he became the most thoughtful man you can imagine. Or to put it in other words – Adi became a "sucker" who was exploited by his mother, his wife, his son, his boss and nearly everyone he ever met.
Things change radically on the day Adi meets Natalia – a sweet, young, wild girl who entices Adi into a life full of emotions, of passion and romance. Now Adi has to choose between love and reason, between dreams and reality, between Natalia and his family.
Will he go on being a good boy? Or will he, for the first time in his life, be brave enough to be what he really wants to be?
