The founding of the State of Israel is the setting for this inspiring and acclaimed film that portrays a surprising friendship between a feisty boy and a kindhearted British soldier. Proffy Liebowitz, a militant yet sensitive twelve year old, has grown up under British occupation and wants nothing more than for the occupying British to get out of his land. While out after curfew, Proffy is apprehended by British Sergeant Dunlop (Alfred Molina). Instead of arresting him, Sergeant Dunlop escorts him back home. The accidental encounter leads to a meaningful bond between supposed enemies. A beautifully shot film that parallels the creation of the State of Israel with one boy’s formative years. Chosen as the opening night film for the Israeli Film Festival to celebrate Israel’s 60th anniversary.
