Love Life

Taxi!

There's a bomb in the bag!

Ya'ara?

How is she?

Ya'ara, thank God you came to take care of your mother,

Close the door, O God! Come, come, and close the door!

What happened?

I am not well, Ya'ara.

Only two minutes ago she was feeling fine.

See, he doesn't believe me! He never believes me! He thinks I'm pretending!

After all this drama, who could really believe?

You see this? Did you hear him?

What did the doctor say?

What doctor? She's as healthy as an ox, I wish I was as healthy as she is!

But you called a doctor, he opened the door.

Oh, that! He is my friend Aryeh don't you remember?

Why should she remember him, she wasn't even born when he left the country.

Well, now I must return to him.

No! Stay with me Leon!

Guests should not be kept waiting! Ya'ara, take care of your mother, please!

Otherwise, why do we need children?

Daddy!

Now see how you look?

I ran, I was worried, I don't think about that!

It's not my fault he reappeared suddenly, without warning at the door.

And that is why you are not celebrating?

Ashtray? We lost touch for many years because of Hannah.

The ashtray, ashtray... Congrats from the bottom of my heart, Dad.

- Yoni and I thought maybe...

Yes! Come here and meet Aryeh.

We studied together, when I was younger than you are now.

We even lived together, and you know...

Aryeh, Ya'ara is learning comparative studies in the field of religion,

with assistance of the University. - Please don't...

She always expects the worst?

When I opened the door, she looked at me as if I'd

killed the pair of you and she was the next in line.

Ya'ara, he always jokes.

Oh yeah?

- How's your mother?

- Nothing serious.

Yes, well, let's sit down.

- Aryeh you lived many years in Paris.

How many years ago?

You were not yet born, or sometime about then

I always wanted to go to Paris.

And?

I don't know, maybe I'm afraid to be disappointed...

In imagination everything is more beautiful than what you see with the eyes.

Oh! I have to show you a picture of us.

Daddy!

Oh! I was so young then! Remember that day at the beach?

The photographer had a black and white Polaroid and you convinced me to buy it. - Where is it?

He won't find it, he never finds anything.

He can't find it because I have it.

Oh, that's a shame, I wanted to show you how we were...

- Forget it Leon, It's not important.

- Where is Shira?

Oh Tulya! Where is your mistress? You are alone, Shira will be back soon.

Send best wishes to your wife.

Thank you very much, Leon.

That's all. This is the little I can do. I hope it helps.

- Tulya, Tulya run home, go home!

Damn! Stay in the car. Whose cat?

Whose cat?

How should I know.

If I knew you would be celebrating so long I would have come.

Can you hold it?

Wait a moment, now.

Next month we will buy a table.

Well? We're going to a picnic to celebrate?

- I'm not going.

- How come? Why is that?

Ready to go.

Hello! Hi Shira! What has happened?

I was afraid that one day he would disappear. And now it's even worse than I feared!

Thank you very much.

Maybe he found a cute kitten? You know he's a man?

And tomcats have their needs right? Oh? Tulya!

Good morning, Ya'ara!

Good morning!

Professor Ross!

Here you are.

Professor Ross, unfortunately, I didn't have time to finish the work.

You still have time before the end of next week.

Yes, I know, but it's not enough, I need more time

And I fear that there is not a post of assistant to give to you.

I don't know, but everything is difficult.

Where are you going?

I'm going back to the library.

Ya'ara, remember how much you wrote about the second destruction of the Temple.

And now you tell me you can't find a subject about which to write.

However, you are going in this field.

- Why is that? - I can not decide.

Not so: you don't want to bluff it, you don't want someone else to decide for you.

The decision is yours and you don't have a choice.

Very "Chic"

Your size... Your size is on the mannequin!

There you go, please! The stall is there, behind the flowers at the back.

Thank you very much.

See this! It's beautiful, is it not?

We have to try it out. Let me help you.

That looks good on you. I'll bring you some pants.

Yes, if you please.

I'll look to see if I can find something for Josephine.

There you go. Done.

Well, what?

Both. Wrap them up.

You think so?

I've never seen anything that did not suit you.

Well, what do you think of the dress?

- Very good! Perfect!

So you decided to buy this one?

You need to go, now she is waiting for us.

I'm in a hurry.

Korman's daughter?

Come, Aryeh!

We will call you as soon as we have your size. What's your number?

- 283? - 283-5891.

Thank you very much.

Hello!

It's me, Ya'ara.

Everything okay?

I do not know. I must see you.

Why is that?

I don't know.

You don't know too much.

It's open, please...

Just a moment.

Excuse me.

You moved here?

No, I'm only temporarily here.

Apartment or country?

I have little time, what can I do for you?

Never mind, I thought...

What?

I'm Sorry, I'm sorry, I should not have come.

What is it?

I thought you were one of those who always gets what they want.

What do I want?

You ask me about it?

And you, what do you want?

I don't care.

You feel good, you feel good, you feel good, you feel good...

I'm thirsty.

What do you want to drink?

Coffee.

Something that doesn't take as long.

My wife comes now.

A warm hello to your parents.

Aryeh! Aryeh Evan!

Open now immediately.

That was not good, that was not good!

Yoni, must you scare me so?

I brought a guest.

Oh, who is this guest?

How little it is! Where did you find it?

I bought it for Shira.

Shira? and if Tulya is back?

Tulya will not return.

And if he lies dead in the gutter,

he does not deserve to be remembered just a little?

Ya'ara!

If I disappear in a day

How much time before you start looking for another woman?

You are at the altar where Christianity began, historically.

All over the world, on any Christian altar, the image of Christ on the cross,

is reminiscent of what happened there.

Leaning under the altar you will see a round hole,

which can reach the top of Calvarului mountain.

A legend says that those who reach this mountain, will be clean of all sins.

Now I ask you to go to the next chapel of Golgotha.

Here it must be achieved.

Your friend, who was here recently, will he come?

Aryeh? of course. I'll give him a call to him to remind him.

As if once was not enough, I'm serious. It will be only over my dead body.

What you want, what you will. It's nothing. I'll call and cancel the invitation.

My birthday - my guests.

There's no plates.

I'll tell Alex to bring them.

I recently saw him in town.

Who?

That... Aryeh. That's his name? With his daughter.

He has no daughter. He has no children.

Ah... Maybe it was his wife? Ginger?

No way.

Why?

She's in the hospital.

Is it serious?

Why are you so interested?

And why have they not had children?

Problems...

Problems with him or her?

Him. Why are you interested?

Enough, enough!

Happy Birthday, dear Leon, happy birthday!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you very much for the wine!

- How do you feel at this age? - I would never say you're 60.

Well, can we not talk about something more interesting?

Ya'ara, open up please!

All is well?

What are you up to?

Me? You mean we!

No, no, I will not!

Come on, he will be delighted.

Last year everybody liked it.

Could you do it again, Alex?

What is your wish, my dear sister. I'm going to marry her.

And whoever objects, say now, or forever be silent!

Ladies and gentlemen, in view of this, you are a delightful woman!

We wish you all the best!

Is it Tirza?

Who else could it be?

Ya'ara, please gather the broken shards of glass broken by Tirza.

It won't be long before he has grown fat, this hero-man, my brother.

To marry her! I will never forgive him!

But you wanted to divorce.

Oh, yes. It's that simple to you all.

Tell me why I have a husband the same age as her father?

He can give nothing to her, because for a long time he has given nothing to other women.

Ya'ara sings?

Ya'ara, we are waiting!

Here it goes, it is your birthday present.

Me and my source of inspiration, Leonard Cohen, and Yaara,

of course, wish you all the best in the next 60 years.

How many times have you hugged me in the winter cold?

How many songs did you sing to me, how many jokes told!

I can count them all, I can count them all...

Aryeh!

Now I watch you sleep, and on the pillow...

Yes, the last time came out better...

Oh, how much I'm glad you came! Listen everyone! Aryeh Evan came!

I want to congratulate you with all my heart.

Vivian, hello!

It's unbelievable how lucky you are!

The dress she has on is the same as yours.

Well? Is she still hanging around Aryeh?

No, now she's flirting with your husband.

You do not know who is the singer? Bob Dylan!

Aryeh, want a drink? Well, take a seat!

Next I want to say hi to Hannah, where...?

Yes, here she is.

Where?

There.

Hannah... Oh, Lord, Hannah, I'm sorry but on the street I would not have recognized you.

Well! Come on!

My braid has been gone more than 20 years.

For such a time it's possible to get used to it.

How's your wife?

Thanks for asking.

Well, what can I offer you, Aryeh?

Red wine.

Hey.

Got a cigarette?

Yes.

What?

Everything OK?

Ya'ara! Ya'ara! Ya'ara!

What?

Be thankful for what you have.

And if I do not want?

What, you don't like your life?

No. Or better said, I don't know.

But it is mine, and I am stuck deep inside it.

Don't let an obstacle deter you from your path.

And if you do not know which is the obstacle and which is the path?

- I'm sorry. - Yes, of course.

Tomorrow I'm going to the coast, come with me?

Why not take your "cigarette holder?"

All "cigarette holder's" have plans tomorrow, you're last on the list.

Thanks, but I work..

Can you help me a bit, or am I supposed to do everything myself?

Can you tell me what it is so interesting that you are there talking to him?

Watch out! You're drinking!

What? Oh no! Hand up! up!

Dad! Sha!

Sha!

What happened?

No, don't you worry, tomorrow she may come home, yes, it is not bad at all!

The bandage is too tight, the bandage is too loose, the bed is too soft,

the bed is too hard, the nurse too stupid...

Right, right, it's a good sign. Yes.

And you? All have already gone? Should I send you the stupid nurse?

Leon, it was only a joke, yes, it was joke, Leon.

See you tomorrow, OK? Good night.

What is it, Moley?

Let us go dance, huh?

You don't want to go home? I thought you were tired...

You know what? Take Shira.

You see how she lights up when you are around.

Why? What do you mean?

Listen, you did not notice she always looks at you with longing? She is in love with you!

Wait...

- For many years I am absolutely sure. - What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

So what? It's all right, I do not mind. Honest to God!

But I'm against it!

What happened Ya'ara? You want to give me to another woman?

No!

Well, what then, tell me?

I do not know, well, it's flattering when someone falls in love with you...

Well so imagine, no one else interests me.

What's the matter with you lately? I don't understand.

You're sad, and then suddenly you're happy and it has nothing to do with me.

All the same...

That is, you're still my wife, right?

You're my wife! I love you! I love you.

We do not go to Jaffa?

Why don't you just give me a surprise?

And you? There's a surprise for you?

For example?

For example, I'm sitting here with you, that I even decided to go with you.

That I'm really going with you to the sea.

No, no, I'm surprised.

Yes...

But what if we didn't know each other?

If I were only a hitchhiker.

Aryeh!

I hope you're not a pervert, are you? Or have you just received your license?

I'm going to the coast, where are you going?

To the sea, no matter where.

What a wonderful coincidence!

What's your name?

Annabelle.

A beautiful name. Are you from France?

My father has lived long in Paris.

Oh! And how did you come to this wretched place, Annabelle?

I quarreled with a friend and walked out of the car.

He will search for you.

I do not care.

What's under your dress, Annabelle?

Where are we going?

Aryeh! Aryeh, Aryeh. Aryeh, finally! I did not think you would even come!

You see, I'm here.

Well, I'll finish and then we'll talk.

Yes, then.

This is Annabelle, hitchhiker,

and he's Nathan, the new Turkish Sultan of Acre.

Not bad, but inaccurate. Building was not the sultans...

But whose? But who was?

He was a pasha! Come on, I'll show you!

Carefully, carefully, young man!

Pasha was the highest-ranking official of the Ottoman Empire.

He was just below the rank of Grand Vizier.

He built it in 1570 for his mistress.

What do you think?

You did a great job.

Oh! It's so long! But we have some wonderful Vietnamese workers.

Did you know that Vietnamese were great wood builders from the 16th century?

Do you like it, Annabelle?

Fabulous!

Well? What shall we drink? I have a Mexican beer,

Whisky

And here we have an excellent cognac I brought from Hungary.

Oh! It's good!

I have French salami and cheese.

Here used to be Nathan's love nest!

So what's a love nest?

It is just a doghouse, I came here between processes.

I know this hotel for over 30 years.

Previously, he was a judge, and will now be the owner of the hotel.

And all of Europe will fill the refrigerator.

Do not drink it so fast.

I would eat something with this.

Have you seen Madeleine?

She sends you a big hello.

Unfortunately, she had to leave the apartment.

Have you been in the restaurant Baumbetera?

Of course, I ordered the famous "Marche du Pla" and then a beer.

Annabelle, you are living in Acre?

I live somewhere far.

Come, rest a bit.

Aryeh...

- You embarrassed?

- No, I do not mind.

Everything will be all right. You will like it, you will like it.

She is so stunningly beautiful! So beautiful!

Oh! she's so stunningly beautiful! Stunningly beautiful! Stunningly beautiful!

Where's the bathroom?

Toilet?

Do you want coffee, Ya'ara?

Ya'ara? I thought her name was Annabelle.

Ya'ara is her real name.

Beautiful name. Listen, isn't Korman's daughter also called Ya'ara?

No!

I thought you were long gone. Aren't you cold?

Why are you still here, if I am are so awful?

Leave me alone!

You're like a child. You say something without thinking,

do something without knowing why, and then blame me,

because she is not ready to answer for herself.

The route is from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

Yes we go to Jerusalem.

What does this mean?

You won't be forced to see me!

Climb!

What are you waiting for?

You need money? Here you go!

Go on!

You can not be separated from me?

I don't want to take the bus!

Give me back my panties! They're in your pants pocket!

I don't have them anymore.

That were my most beautiful panties!

You do not need them.

Oh! And for your friend, they are not needed, even more so.

You're right. No one needs them.

Stop it Ya'ara! Do you want to kill us?

Was that your first time, like that?

Yes. And you?

I've tried everything, everything, that's why it's so hard for me now.

It's hard for you?

Yes, to me all is boring.

I know you think this is because of you, but it is not..

It's a general boredom, that's hard to dispel.

I need stronger and stronger stimulation all the time until that too stops working.

If a woman interests you, then fucking her will interest you, no?

It's like a conversation, right?

Why do you think I would be interested in conversation?

I am destroying my life, and you're being destroyed by boredom.

You are hungry, and I am full.

And suddenly she opened the door! Oh my God!

You are already awake, Moley?

You have been playing tennis all this time?

I was at the hospital.

What? How is she? They said, that she could go home.

They suspected something with her head, they did a CT scan.

What?

She's all right, thank God. Tomorrow morning, they'll let her go.

And you were with her?

I tried to call you at the university, but I was told that you're not there.

I stayed home today, I didn't feel well.

I called here also.

I went to the pharmacy to buy some aspirin.

A good thing. My head was splitting all night. It's in your bag, right?

I do not like to go through it.

You have looked on the table?

or... next to the dishwasher!

I... I... Yoni!

Fuck...

- Goodbye! - Goodbye!

You have everything ready today, Ya'ara?

I... I urgently need to go to the hospital, it's my mother.

Something has happened?

Yes, an accident, an auto accident.

Lord, I am so sorry.

Thank you very much, we all hope that she will be healthy once again.

Ya'ara, your session is on Thursday.

I need your master's thesis topic by then.

Shira is now also involved in the competition.

She has a very high level.

Probably.

Roses, sunflowers, gladioli...

Daisies, I need daisies!

Unfortunately, we have none.

Hannah Korman, please.

In room 80, climb the stairs.

Mama!

How nice that you even came.

Sorry, but I could not come sooner.

Of course. Your father is no better.

Well? How are you? How is your hand?

First, you better worry about your husband. A person was not present with him.

Thank you very much.

I'll come, see you later.

If You don't mind, do you have a patient named Even? - E V A N

Room 305.

Excuse me...

I'm Ya'ara. I am the daughter of Leon Korman, pharmacist, a friend of your husband.

I am - Josephine.

Maybe I'd better go away?

Help me with a plaster?

Yes, of course!

Can you help me get up?

Lift the back.

What is this?

Morphine. From your father.

Want some candy?

Yes, thank you very much!

I remember the day you were born. On that day I met Aryeh, my husband.

Where?

At the Opera House, in Paris.

You look like your mother?

Yes, maybe a little.

You are familiar with Aryeh, right?

...I saw him once... in my parents house.

What is it?

Quiet! Shh! Do not talk!

No! No! Where is the bell?

Quiet!

What are you doing here, who you are you?

No! What?

Aryeh, it was an accident!

Are you done?

I came to see my mother!

Who allowed you to see my wife? What the hell you want from me?

Get out of here!

Leave me alone!

Lord of mercy, dwelling in the celestial heights

grant true rest upon the wings of thy majesty,

on the steps of the holy and pure, the light of heaven shining

on the soul of Josephine, daughter of Abraham

and we pray for her

abide in heaven comfort her,

because it covers so merciful in the shadow of Thy wings for all eternity

and send up her soul to the site for all eternity

God is the Lord, and yes my commandment be on a bed in the world.

Yoni!

Where's the cat?

I gave it to Shira.

She is happy?

Yes, very happy.

And you? Where are you going?

And you do not know?

I can only guess.

I think we waited too long.

And you just decided that, without me?

You would have dissuaded me.

And now it's too late?

Yes, yes, now it's too late.

Congratulations on your wedding day. Our flight is tomorrow at 9 am.

What is the flight? Where to?

In.. Istanbul. On our honeymoon.

What?

Yes, I accept, your parents helped me with money.

You only need to pack. What do you think?

- But we've been married so long ago... - Yes, and it's so long overdue...

For three days it will be just us. I think we need it urgently.

Well, what do you think?

I already know all about Istanbul... "geshyuryu byuryum!"

In Istanbul, it's hot or cold?

About the same as here.

I'm going to quickly take a shower, do you want to come in with me?

You can sit on the toilet lid as before.

I'll tell you about Charshi Kapali, the largest market in the world,

it has 18 of the gates of entry,

and if you want a coffee you must pay 3.5 million pounds

I'll get it.

It's probably your parents, they want to say goodbye.

Hello!

Yes, Aryeh.

Ya'ara! Towel! "A byuryum-byuryum"!

Ya'ara!

Hey, what are you doing? Where is my towel?

You're not going to Istanbul, right?

No.

I hope that someday I can explain it to you.

You want a smoke?

Don't forget to breathe.

Aryeh!

Hello! This is a voice mail! Yoni and Ya'ara...

Aryeh! Aryeh!

Aryeh, Aryeh, let me out!

Aryeh, are you here?

Aryeh! It is necessary to pick up the phone!

I will take it on the other phone.

Aryeh, open the door!

I've got two minutes to rest.

What?

Has somebody seen Aryeh? Aryeh!

I'm hungry!

Mama!

Here it is.

Come on, the air is clean, there is food in the kitchen.

Here, enjoy your meal.

What will you drink?

What did you barricade yourself from? You want to provoke me?

And my mother, too, was locked in a room? And Josephine?

What have you done to her?

Hold your tongue, go, the door is open!

I want to know what happened with my mother?

If you really want to know, ask her yourself.

Ask your parents.

What am I, your family physician?

Aryeh, are you here?

Aryeh, hey!

Aryeh!

He is there?

I came too early?

No, absolutely not.

I'm so sorry.

Aryeh, please accept my condolences, what can I tell you...

What a wonderful house, you know how to live!

Alex!

Sorry.

- Come, I will show you the house. - I do not know why I said it.

What can I do for you, tell me?

Istanbul.

Istanbul! It is a dream! I still have never been.

There on the Golden Horn is a coffee shop...

Yeah, I know this story, about a French writer and a Turkish woman.

She was married, and she was sentenced to death.

And the sentence was carried into execution?

- She was stoned. - Oh, my God!

I told Yoni, you have to go there

it is one of the most beautiful places in Istanbul!

Who is Yoni?

Ya'ara's husband, you met him.

This is their late honeymoon.

- And when are they going to Istanbul? - They already left this morning.

I said to Yoni, "it's great you love her, but you have to give her something else."

Yes, of course!

They have never traveled anywhere together.

So I said, "Come on, hurry up! If only for the weekend!"

With pleasure I supported the idea.

After all, a happy marriage is not brought on a silver platter, true?

You know best, Leon.

What do you mean?

Never mind, dear, absolutely nothing.

You know, even if you do not believe me, I consider myself a happy man.

Yes, Leon, we know, everyone knows how happy you are!

Whenever I think of happiness, I see you before my eyes.

Sorry, I'm going to go eat something.

This is a toilet for men?

Yes, right here.

Sorry, Aryeh, by chance do you have a second bathroom?

There's one in the bedroom, only it's not clean.

That's nothing. I do not scare so easily.

Aryeh, someone rang the doorbell.

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon.

- You're not drinking? - Thank you very much.

Ya'ara!

Istanbul, well, you see! How did you let him go?

- How could you send him to the bedroom?

He wanted to write.

You intentionally sent him to the bedroom. You got pleasure from it.

Your father cares less if you are in Istanbul, or in my bed.

Well, you're a pig.

Don't you see that he closes his eyes to all that? This and all truth?

What truth, what truth? Tell me! What is the truth?

I'm going to clean up the table.

Let me help you.

I'm so tired.

I know you think I am incapable of loving anyone.

Maybe you're right.

Your mother was the only one.

I ran after her, begging her to stay with me.

She said she wanted to have children.

And she knew that I could not have children.

They got married behind my back.

My best friend.

I dropped everything and went to Paris.

I cursed them that their marriage would be childless.

But on the day you were born, she had me beat.

I understand. And with me you finally managed to get payback.

Your interest was not in me, she was the only presence.

Nonsense!

I'm going to take a shower and then take you home.

Ya'ara!

Ya'ara!

You have.. both of you have already returned?

I did not leave, Daddy, and you know it.

- What? I knew nothing. Where is Yoni?

Where is Mother?

- She went to the store, I think.

Do you want coffee?

- So tell me, how was it?

- I brought you something.

From Istanbul?

- Yoni?

My God, my God, what are you doing, Mom?

- What do you think? Putting your life in order.

Your husband called from Istanbul. He arrives on the first flight tomorrow morning.

Where do you put the coffee?

You should have asked Yoni, I do not know.

- What is this? I am sick with fear, I thought you died.

Anger, you got sick with anger, because you know perfectly well where I was.

I knew nothing. And I do not even want to know.

But what I want is that you have order in your life.

Until tomorrow there is little time.

But it will not work, mother. This is simply impossible.

Really? We will see!

Here! Here! That's all we need to bake Yoni's favorite pie.

I love it. I love him.

Mother, I want to tell you something!

I just wanted to make sure that you arrived safely home.

Come on in.

Who's there?

- Hello, Hannah!

- Get out!

Mama!

- How is your hand? - Get out of here!

- Mama...

Why does she hate you so?

You were still in a stroller, when she reached Paris.

She held you in her arms and invited me to live with you both.

That we bring you up together, as if you had been my daughter.

- And you sent us back?

Yes. I could not do otherwise.

- And my father knew about this?

Of course!

The two of you were with me for three days in Paris.

He took you back.

And today, he pretends that nothing happened.

After a year or two he became ill and abandoned his studies.

- What happened to him?

That I do not know.

- He was hospitalized more than six months, I think.

- He was depressed, stayed in a mental hospital.

Mama!

If she chose you, I would not have been born.

I would have remained an unfulfilled dream.

My father, perhaps, would be someone who loved to be in the present.

And Josephine... and... Yoni

Every night when I cried, and she had to get up.

Every time I disappointed her.

When I was rude and did not do my homework.

Then she thought of the price she had paid for me.

Why are you laughing?

Because I can finally understand it.

Because I finally know why

she can not... love me.

I must go, I must go... to Yoni.

Now I know what I shall write.

You're a miracle!

I know, I know everything now.

What, for example?

I know that this is my real honeymoon.

Even if it will last just a couple of minutes, the rest does not matter.

And it doesn't matter if you love me or you love someone else.

I know that this is my life.
