Todo es complicado en la vida de Yoni, un joven de trece años inteligente, pero poco desarrollado físicamente. Sus compañeros lo intimidan y sus padres apenas se dirigen la palabra. Como si esto fuese poco, su hermano Tomer, autista de diecisiete años, regresa a casa justo antes de su Bar Mitzvá. Viejos secretos salen a la luz. La lectura de la Torá que Yoni debe hacer en su Bar Mitzvá –Noé y el diluvio– se convierte en una metáfora de la frágil y paralizada existencia familiar.

Israeli film series 'Stories of Life'.
This January, 'Tuesday Cinema' invites us on a journey through Israeli cinema in recent years. The Fundación Tres Culturas, in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel in Spain, will screen a series of feature films that have won awards at the world's most prestigious film festivals, which have aroused enormous curiosity among international audiences. Israeli cinema has a great diversity of themes, a wide production of dramas, comedies, documentaries and short films, and a quality that is internationally recognised. Many Israeli films deal courageously with issues such as multiculturalism, politics, the Holocaust and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, among others. Israeli cinema has its own voice and its own vision, recognising the other, the different, and giving its narrative a more personal vision where the filmmakers bring us closer to their most personal and intimate stories.
