Lost Islands is a humorous drama which focuses on a large and high-spirited working class family struggling with marital fidelity, sibling jealousy and teen anguish. The early 1980s are the backdrop of this autobiographical film which was Israel’s biggest box office success in 2008. Twin brothers Erez and Ofer are two members of this unique yet typical family who seem opposite in every way. Happily wreaking havoc and chasing girls in a still rather naïve Israel, they fall in love with the same free-spirited girl setting off a rivalry that pulls them apart. This poignant film tackles the division between family commitments and individual desires.
