Where is Dad? Call him.

He must be on his way. He's always late.

I'm starving.

Too bad there's no kiosk here.

I have a granola bar, you want?

No, sweetie, no sugar for me, at least not untiI after the wedding.

Reli.

You're getting married?

Yes. - Wow!

Congratulations!

Thank you, I hope you're next.

The sooner the better.

It happened so fast, didn't it?

No, we've been together for a long time.

Eight months.

Nine.

You can dance at our wedding if you Iike.

I don't think it's appropriate. - Of course it is. -Absolutely.

My family loves belly dancing.

Our father, not so much.

Thank you, Chico.

Good morning all.

I have just been told that the first runners are about to arrive.

First one to arrive -

Ora Geva, our gym teacher from Begin High School.

The winner for the third year in a row!

Way to go, Ora!

And here comes the runner-up, Esther Dasta.

A bible studies teacher from Golda High School.

And finishing third - Boaz Levi.

My entire body's shaking. There's nothing to be afraid of, right, Doctor?

Nothing at all.

WiIl they be large?

They'll be natural, they'll look great.

I don't want natural, I want large.

Your breasts are a nice pear shape,

making them too large may not be proportional to your body.

We don't want people to notice.

But I do want people to notice, otherwise what's the point?

Look, I'll do what I can,

but I'll only be able to see during the operation.

You promised me they'd be large, Dr. Geva. I want everyone to notice.

So, what's the problem?

I told her that too large an implant may not fit her proportions.

But that's what I want.

And that's what you'll get. Give me the marker.

Give me the marker!

Here you go.

It'll either be Iike this or Iike this, we'll see on the operating table.

When they say they want large, you do large, don't argue.

How many times do I have to tell you that?

She has to know what she's getting into,

she'll have them for Iife, they should be proportional.

They don't care about proportions. They want them large!

Reli and I have set a date. We're getting married in July.

What's the rush? Why are you in such a hurry?

Why wait? - How many women have you been with?

3? 4? You're inexperienced.

Dad, why don't you Iike her? - You deserve better.

She's plain, provincial. She hasn't even been abroad.

She's been to Turkey.

Turkey is the same as Netanya.

I love her, Dad.

You love her thighs, that's what you love.

Faster, you lazy bums.

Didn't you get enough sleep at night?

What, no breakfast?

Lift those legs.

You'll be soldiers in 3 years, what'll you do then?

Hup, hup, hup.

Go, go, go.

"Through a crack in my small window

"I can see a bit of sky.

"The lovebird perched in my heart sings

"A yearning song."

What's going on with Chico? Did you call him?

Uh... no.

l... lost his number.

l must have put it in my baggy pants...

Shlomit, girls line up around the block for a guy like that,

what are you waiting for?

Ora, it'll be a shame if she misses out on this guy.

l'm not saying that because he's my sister's son.

You'll love him once you get to know him.

lt's Shlomit who has to love him, not me.

She'll love him too, trust me.

You'll try?

You really think l can fall in love with Chico?

Shlomit, it's not always about love.

Just go out on a date.

Not every man has to shake you all up inside.

Chico?

Fine, not Chico, just practice dating.

Get laid already. - Mom!

Your turn, baby.

No, you shoot, baby. - l want you to shoot, it turns me on.

Oh yeah? How exactly does it turn you on?

Shoot and l'll show you.

Make sure the notch is in the middle of the sight.

Aim at the target.

And shoot.

Go ahead, shoot.

Wow, baby!

Totally wow, sweetie.

Wow.

Did you come inside?

What...? Yes. - What if l'm ovulating? Ask first!

Think about it, baby, we're the perfect combination.

Your skin tone, my eye color,

my height, your hips.

My hips won't stay like this, you saw my mother...

You two don't have the same build.

She looked just like me when she was my age. -Fine.

How can l have a child? l'm still a child myself.

l haven't even been abroad.

You've been to Turkey.

Turkey... That's the same as Bat Yam.

Let's go shoot some more.

lt's dark out.

That's the best time.

Why did l buy a korean car? - lt's Japanese. -Same difference.

l can't wait for the Volvo.

Smoky blue or pearl white?

Black is the most elegant.

lt's 2am, Micha, you'll be exhausted at the wedding tomorrow.

l'm hoping for an earthquake or a war, anything but this mistake.

That's enough, Micha.

He can get any woman he wants. He's compromising, as always.

How can you say that with a profession like his?

l talked him into it. - You wanted him to be a dentist.

lt'd be perfect for him. To be a plastic surgeon you gotta have balls.

lf he had enough courage to work with you in the same hospital,

in the same operating room and endure your crap

then he has balls this big. - Right.

Stop criticizing the kids... - "Criticizing", come on...

Why can't you ever support them? Show them that you're proud of them.

l do.

Show them your love, Micha.

Promise you'll make an effort for him tomorrow.

Promise me, Micha.

l promise.

Did you see her mother's hips?

How could l miss them?

As wide as the Mediterranean Sea. No wonder her father took off.

He had another woman. - With small hips, that's for sure.

l always told him, when you meet a new girl, check out her mother's hips.

Hips, it's basic. - Hips are not so important.

lt is! l only married you because of your mother's hips.

Liar.

The moon domes out at night

The sun domes out at day

Marry Avigail

Even before peade breaks out

Hey, hey, la la la la...

That's awesome.

Gorgeous!

Great, look into each other's eyes.

Excellent.

O.k. Clink glasses.

Hey, Reli, you have to make a toast first.

Whoa, baby!

Not on an empty stomach.

So adorable, looking out for me...

l mean it, sweetheart.

Let's fuck.

What, now?

lt's either fuck or eat.

l like that look, keep it.

Clink glasses again. Nice.

Awesome! The best looking couple here.

Let's fuck.

From behind. l'll lift up my gown.

l wish, but l can't keep my father waiting at the wedding hall.

Again with your father?

lt's the happiest day of your life! Can't you just ignore his ass

and do whatever you want?

l love it when you're angry.

Turn on the switch.

Pump the gas.

Pump the gas!

l'm pumping, l'm pumping.

You're flooding the engine, not pumping.

l'm pumping, l am.

Come on already.

The starter's shot. - What?

Call your parents and tell them to come pick us up.

Baby... Have some gum. You reek of alcohol.

Alcohol? l barely had a drop.

l'm calling a taxi.

No way l'm driving up to my wedding in a taxi.

Next thing l know you'll be telling me to hitch a ride or take a bus.

l want a car!

A car with balloons!

Don't worry, you'll have a car with balloons.

And decorations.

Sweetie, watch the dress.

Mommy...

Mommy...

Mommy...

She's not used to drinking.

So why did she drink like a truck driver? -Micha.

Who drinks before a wedding?

She was all excited and drank on an empty stomach... -Right.

Too bad we didn't stop to eat Falafel.

Do you have the rings, Ari? The yarmulkes?

Yes, let's not be late.

Ari, can you buy me the new Ahmad al Hatib CD at the duty free?

Shlomit, what's up with you and those Arabs?

You got some leftist thing going on?

Cool it, Reli.

Shloma...

Why won't she answer me? - l like their mentality.

"Their mentality"? She likes their mentality...

Did you hear that, Daddy? - Don't... Please.

Shlomit is building a Sukkah

Alllit up and green

Shlomit is building a Sukkah ofpeade...

Mom, we need some air. - On high.

Tell me, Shlomit,

if peace did come, would you build us a Sukkah?

What... No way, not on the upholstery.

Not on the upholstery! - l don't feel well.

keep your eyes on the road. - l'll pull over, l won't have her...

Don't worry, sweetie.

Mommy's an athlete, she's strong, hyperactive.

She won't sleep forever.

l have to see her.

l have to see her now! - Calm down.

Calm down?! Mom's dying!

As we suspected, the CT shows

edema and swelling but there's no damage to the brain stem.

She's unconscious and on a respirator but she's also breathing on her own.

Will she make it? - l can't say at this point.

When it comes to head trauma we must be patient.

Excuse me.

Maybe you should get some rest.

keep her away from me.

Poor Daddy.

His license will be revoked, he'll have to take a driving test...

What time is it? - 6:30am.

l have an early class.

l bet it's weird having a new Volvo that you can't drive.

l remember Mom waiting so impatiently

every time you came home with a new Volvo.

She used to run to you barefoot.

And you'd show her all the new features.

You'd sit on the plastic seat cover

and listen to the engine as if it was...

a piece of music.

lt was so romantic.

Why not take some driving lessons and get your license back?

l have a strong feeling that if you get your license back, Mom will wake up.

Didn't you say you have an early class?

"Mrs. Ora Geva"

"lnvitation to take part in 'Teachers Running' half marathon"

Maybe the lateral is too open.

When we sit her up she'll look great.

Cyril, please sit her up.

ls it moderate plus? - High profile.

Don't you think that with her build it should be moderate plus?

Nonsense... lt'll look the same in the end.

Svetlana... - Lena...

Sorry, Lena, give me textured high profile 375.

375.

375? That's not proportional to her body, it'll ruin the outline of the breast.

Don't be a pain in the ass! We're not in philosophy class.

Svetlana... - Lena.

Lena, turn on the air conditioner.

lt's on high, Dr. Geva. - Then why is it so stuffy in here?

Dad, are you alright? Maybe l should finish this.

Maybe you should let me work in peace?

Cyril, lower her down.

You look pale, Dad, you have to rest.

Fine.

lt's not easy operating from morning to night. lt's exhausting.

What bra did you give her?

A regular one. There were no black ones. -What?

l told you a million times, you can't see blood on a black bra.

Women think there's no blood in a breast operation.

l know, but they were all out. - All out? Then insist.

Stand your ground,

talk to Svetlana. - Lena... -Lena, Lena.

Watch out! Watch how you're driving!

What do you want?

What's that smell?

Smells like curry.

What curry? l don't smell anything.

The certification ceremony is in two weeks. -Fine.

l think l'm graduating with honors.

Could be nice for you to get out of the house, socialize.

l'd like you to come.

We'll see.

Are you smoking again? - Yes, well, 2, 3 cigarettes...

l'll quit on Saturday.

What are you doing?! - What are you doing?!

Can't you see the manhole?

Didn't you see the manhole? - What's the problem? -lt was open!

What's going on with you? - Pull over, l want to get out.

What?!

l have to get out. Pull over. - Because of the manhole?

This garlic is driving me crazy. - What garlic?! l don't smell any garlic!

You're used to it.

Dad, let me take you home. - No.

Dad... - No.

Dad... - Go already!

What is this?

Sir, are you alright?

l'm sorry, it's his first lesson. - What is this?!

Are you out of your mind? He almost killed me.

What matters is that you're O.k. - Who gave that idiot a license?

lt's his first lesson.

Would l care if it's his first lesson or his fiftieth if l were dead now?

Can l give you a lift?

Come on, l'll take you.

That's O.k.

You look pale.

l was almost murdered, how do you think l should look?

Here's my card.

All my details are there if you need anything.

Have a lovely evening.

Zvika!

Liat...

lt says "Zvika."

Yes, that's my father.

How much does he take for a lesson?

He's dead. l'm replacing him for now.

Too bad, l need a teacher.

2 or 3 lessons before a driving test, that's all.

Liat...

How much do you take for a lesson?

You are breaking my heart.

l prayed for a break-up with no tears.

Try to be happy without me.

Open the gate of your heart.

Have mercy on my heart.

How shall l go on living without you?

You must find your way without me.

The future shall be my judge and if l say l forgot your love

then torture is all l will have left.

l have never tasted a gentle heart and compassion such as yours.

The heart knows love only once.

Don't give up on our love.

l won't go on living without you.

l know l am doing us wrong.

Your flame still burns my heart,

but we are destined to separate.

You ask the impossible of me.

Your heart is my heart.

Your soul is my soul.

Only when l hear your voice

does the blood flow through my veins again.

Don't go stayjust a little while longer

l have nothing but you

Without you nothing exists

My love

My heart bleeds

Your soulis my soul

Days to dome willprove to you

That l stilllove you

No air, no breath

When you are far away

The sun has set

But you stillshine in my heart

No air, no breath

when you are far away

The sun has set

But you stillshine in my heart...

That was director Haled al Munir's sixth film

and another collaboration with the great actor Ahmed al Hatib.

For your homework,

write a short story

in first person singular.

From the point of view of an Arab boy or an Arab girl

living under the occupation.

lt can be told in the form of a diary, or even a poem.

Try to imagine a boy who lives under siege.

Chairs on the desks.

Chairs.

Chairs on the desks.

Do you know how many parents complain about you?

l don't understand why.

Because instead of teaching the basics

like "hello"

and "welcome"

you show them movies by Haled al Munir,

Darawish, Muhammed el Barir...

Ahmad el Barir.

What's the difference?!

And you ask them to write diaries about the occupation.

What is this?

Anne Frank?!

Listen, Shlomit,

occupation is nice...

l mean, horrible, absolutely horrible,

and talking about it is important,

it's wonderful to show them both sides,

but not here!!

Listen to this. - What?

One woman says to the other,

your neighbor had a stroke, aren't you going to visit her?

So she says, she doesn't stroke my back, l don't stroke hers.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi, Mom.

Zion sends his regards.

He called me into his office and asked about you.

He's very pleased with me.

He gets tons of positive feedback from the parents.

2 stripes.

Look, 2 stripes.

See? Takes nothing to get me pregnant, just like my mother.

Baby, l don't believe this, this is great!

l'm dying... - Don't die so fast.

What?

Don't look at me like that.

You think l forgot?

My wedding gown keeps yelling at me from the closet.

My mother keeps saying you're a coward just like my dad.

l'm a coward? l want to have your child.

So did my dad, and he ran off.

l won't raise my child without a father.

Then let's get married.

Seriously? - Yes.

For real?

l just have to talk to my dad.

To prepare him, you know...

l'm going with you.

lt's best l go alone, you know... take it slow.

No slow bullshit. Close it today! A wedding and a baby!

Today, sweetie.

Today.

Hi.

Bye, Don.

Shawn! Shawn...

Same time tomorrow. Don't forget the breathing exercises.

lt could help you before the test. - Bye.

Test? - Bye.

The faggot is taking the driving test? - Don't call him that.

Why not me? - He's ready.

After 5 lessons with you and 40 years on the road l'm ready too.

Hold on. Hello? - He's all sweaty, full of hormones...

Yes, it's still for sale.

Of course. Civic Comfort, 1800 cc, great gas mileage,

never been in an accident.

Excellent condition. Like new.

O.k. Just one last thing, it's owned by a driving instructor.

Yes, a driving instructor.

Wait... Sir? Hello?

ldiot.

Stop it, you're gonna rip the seat out.

Can we begin?

Yes.

O.k. Check the mirrors. - Just a little bit more.

Ready? -Yes.

Mirrors.

Right blinker. Shift into first gear.

Go.

Need some help?

l don't understand, l can't get it open.

Maybe it's the wrong locker.

lt's my mom's locker.

We shared it.

You can share it with me. l don't have a lot of stuff.

Just ask Chico to duplicate a key.

They gave you my mom's locker?

So it seems.

And you took it? You have some nerve!

Why? They gave it to me.

They gave it to you because they felt bad for you.

l don't feel bad for you.

Turn right at the roundabout. We'll go to the highway.

l'll take the next exit. - Take a right.

No way, l'm not taking that roundabout.

What are you doing?!

The manhole was slightly open, l'm not making it up.

Fine. Micha, pull over.

Pull over! - What for?

Stop arguing with me!

Did you seek counseling after the accident?

What do l need it for? - You experienced a trauma.

And if l talk that'll help? - lt can help.

l have some breathing techniques that help relieve anxiety.

Anxiety? What anxiety? You're only a gym teacher...

Yoga. -Yoga-shmoga! lt doesn't make you a psychologist.

Drive.

Look in the mirror.

lf l give you a nose job then can l take the driving test?

A nose job? -With a nice nose you'll find a husband tomorrow.

l'll do it for free.

l bet it's hard to be you, huh?

Always looking for flaws.

Who's looking? They're right in front of me.

l'm going to run in "Teachers Running".

You? - Yes.

That's a great idea, Shlomit.

You know how much willpower you need to run a half-marathon?

l have that. l'm sure l'll do well and Mom will wake up.

She'll wake up when you get married, not when you run.

Find a husband first, then run.

l got a call from the wedding hall.

We have to set a date before the end of the year.

Should we do it before the holidays? After?

Who cares about the wedding now? Look around.

ls this any time for a wedding?!

Reli and l discussed it... - Don't mention her name.

Dad, it's not fair.

lt's not fair?

What is this, Scrabble?

You're such a wimp! Why are you so afraid of him?

l'm not afraid of him, l just think... it's too soon.

Too soon for what? -For a wedding celebration with mom in a coma.

Since she fell into a coma my life is on hold. -Baby, l'm sorry,

but we have to wait,

Dad is climbing the walls, he's so lonely without my mother.

Lonely? l bet he already has someone.

My father?! - Of course. He's a man.

He'd never cheat.

Give me a week, l'll put a tail on him and bring you proof.

That's nonsense, baby.

lt's the hormones talking, not you.

Baby?

Baby...

l'm not to blame for what happened to Mom.

All l did was throw up in his car.

l'm not blaming you.

lf anything, blame him, he's the one who lost control.

l'm not blaming anyone. You just don't get me,

it's like we're speaking different languages.

Why, what language am l speaking? ltalian?!

Good morning. - Good morning.

Hi.

Ahmad? - Shlomit.

No, l mean you're listening to Ahmad. - You know him?

He's the king. We listened to him in Syrian captivity.

You were a POW in Syria?

No, but half of them are called Ahmad, right?

That's not funny.

Everything's funny.

lt's yours.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

How much is 21 kms?

21 kms.

Running it... is it a lot?

Why run 21 kms?

For "Teachers Running." l decided to run this year.

lnstead of your mom? - You know her?

Of course, she was the champion. - She still is.

Will you help me?

We need a training program whereby every week you gradually increase

the distance and the pace and then one week of easy running.

lf you run 30 kms the first week, then you run 35 kms, then 40,

then you have to go back to 30 kms so it's easier the month after that.

You also have to combine speed training, interval and tempo.

You must keep a proper diet

and wear proper clothing to maintain your body temperature.

Wow. You... really know your stuff.

A bit. After all, l am the champion handicapped marathon runner

of the lDF organization in Oklahoma.

The lDF has a center in Oklahoma?

Will you train me?

l'll think about it.

Hi, Mikey, you're ignoring my calls again.

At least be a man, look me in the eye

and tell me you're leaving, that you don't want me.

That you found someone else.

But just fading away like that? - "Fading away".

l miss your smell. Your hands.

Even the smell of your socks.

Say, does your dad know you're like this?

Have you ever tried it with a woman? - Micha. -What?

Why, women don't leave? - Don't compare.

He's comparing them to women...

l'm telling you, it's Sodom and Gomorrah. -Micha!

What?

You're such a... - What did l say?!

Let him. l couldn't care less.

Don couldn't care less. What's your problem?

What are you doing?

Get out of my car, Micha. - What?

l've had it, get out of my car!

Why are you talking to me like that? - ls the way you talk any better?

What did l do? - Get yourself another instructor.

What, you're kicking me out because of this fag... this idiot?

Get out of my car, Micha. - What did l say?!

Were you offended? He wasn't even offended!

l said Sodom and Gomorrah in a general way...

Why did you stop the car? - l've had it with you.

l can't stand you anymore!

Then let me take the damn driving test and l'll be out of your life.

Micha. Either you apologize or you're out.

l'm giving you one last chance.

l'm sorry, Don... l mean, Shawn.

Can l drive now?

Buckle up and drive.

What... What's with you?

l'll let you take the driving test. - You mean it?

lf that's what will end this affair between us...

Affair?

l didn't know we're having an affair.

l'm putting a heart rate monitor on you.

That tickles.

l can't fasten it like this. - O.k. l'll stop laughing.

Nice.

Put it a little higher. - Done. -Good.

O.k., maintain your pace, as hard as you can.

Ready? - Yes.

l can't hear you. -l'm ready! - Louder. -l'm ready!

Louder. - l'm ready!

Go.

l'm right behind you.

What are you doing tonight?

Me?

Nothing. - Great.

Then come over to my place, l'll teach you how to eat properly.

Carbs, protein...

We'll watch a DVD of the Olympics. lt's important you watch the runners.

Come to your place? - Yes.

My caregiver has the day off, so you'll bathe me.

What? - No big deal.

You just scrub my body, no shampooing.

l shampoo my hair every other day. Not today. You wipe me dry, all done.

l won't bathe you.

l'm kidding. Wrench.

How did it happen?

lf it's too hard you don't have to... - No, that's O.k.

ln the army.

An ambush? A run-in?

Yeah, my back had a run-in with the shower stall floor.

You're very pretty, you know?

Yeah, right. Me? With these ears?

You have great ears.

My dad has wanted to operate on them since l was little.

He calls me Dumbo.

What's wrong with Dumbo? Dumbo's cute.

Your dad sounds real cute too.

You're not only pretty, you're sexy.

Me?! - No, my grandma Hadasa.

From the moment l saw you l couldn't take my eyes off you.

Because of my baggy pants?

Yeah, that's it. Like a head counselor in the scouts.

No way, l really wanted to be a head counselor.

Well?

Well what? l passed.

Poor faggot Don... Shawn,

he's so insecure.

l suggest we wait for the results.

Listen... l was thinking...

want to grab a bite with me?

l have this sudden craving for humus.

My treat.

You deserve it, you're a good instructor after all.

For the first time since the accident l could go for some authentic humus.

l don't want to eat all by myself... - l'm sorry, but l'm late for a lesson.

That's O.k. l'll open a tin of humus at home.

Don't forget to tell me if l passed.

l won't forget. - O.k. Thanks.

Get in. - Excellent.

You won't be sorry.

They have these special chickpeas from Gaza that soak overnight...

Yes, we're here.

lt's a very nice clean hospital. Nicer than "El-Makasel".

Who gives a fuck, they have no idea.

l'll talk to you later. Bye.

He likes to talk and laugh about everything.

He thinks l'm sexy.

And pretty.

l don't know, Mom,

l think this is how people feel when they fall in love.

lt's broken.

Yes.

No... lt's...

You have to press each button twice.

Coffee coffee, hot cocoa hot cocoa, tea tea...

Coffee? - No, hot cocoa.

l only drink hot cocoa from vending machines.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

lt's nice here.

lt's a nice place for my mother.

Not that it matters, she's...

a flower...

l mean, a vegetable.

And you?

l'm a vegetable too.

l mean... my mom's a vegetable.

What's your name?

Shlomit.

Shlomit Geva.

Nice to meet you, l'm Ahmad.

Nice to meet you, Ahmad.

Can l have your autograph?

Gladly.

l'll never shower again.

l'm kidding.

Are you from the Liberals? - No, l'm from Rechavia.

l know all your songs by heart.

l don't believe you.

Bravo! Bravo!

Was it too long for you, baby?

Too bad Dad didn't come. He would have enjoyed it.

l guess he was busy.

"Dad, Dad, Dad." Aren't you sick of defending him?

He treats you like an rookie intern.

l'm a real catch, sweetie, l have many takers.

Believe me, l spend my days fighting them off.

And for who? For a man who's scared of his father.

Don't you ever feel like grabbing him and shaking him?

Reli, it's not that simple.

l'm such an idiot.

What was l thinking?

l don't want to threaten you, Ari,

but a man who can't stand up to his father and tell him he wants to marry me

can't be my man.

"Dr. Ari Geva is a plastic surgery specialist

"and a member of the lsraeli Association of Plastic Surgery, 2014."

You'd be proud of me if you'd have seen me up there on the stage.

Dad would've been proud too had he bothered to attend.

l'll never miss any of my kids' events.

Not parent teacher meetings, not class parties,

not holidays, not ceremonies.

l'll volunteer to be on the parents committee...

l'll organize family trips.

What am l saying? At the rate l'm going, l'll never have a family.

l knew it.

You didn't pass the test.

You're kidding me.

The tester said... - l don't care.

She said that you drove well. - l drove well?

l drove fantastic. - Until you reached a manhole.

She said no tester will pass you in your condition.

"Your condition?" What are you talking about?

Calm down. - Calm down? Calm down?!

What the...

Fuckin'...

Micha. - What? Leave me alone.

Breathe.

Breathe.

l can't breathe...

Let me.

lnhale through the nose.

Breathe.

Exhale through the nose.

l had fun with you.

And you?

Are you alright? - Of course.

What's with the smile? Are you on something?

Like what? - lt's like you're not here.

Yes l am.

lf you say so.

l met Ahmad.

Who?

Ahmad al Hatib, my favorite singer.

His mother just happens to be in the hospital next to my mom.

ln real life he's... even more gentle, even more sensitive...

Well, we don't have all day.

He looked me in the eye and l thought l'd die.

Just talking about it gives me goose bumps.

What?

Nothing.

Come on, 800 meters.

Go.

Plant your feet on the floor, raise your arms,

your feet planted on the floor and reach up like a tree to the sun.

Lower your shoulders.

Arms stretched out firmly.

Relax your head like a heavy coconut.

Stretch and open.

Arms to the sides.

Stretch them. Look towards the horizon.

Adho Mukha Svanasana - Downward Facing Dog.

What language was that...?

And... Upward Facing Dog.

Good dog.

What? - Good dog. keep going.

Downward Facing Dog.

l have to rest from the Svanasana...

Hello.

Yes, of course, it's still for sale.

1800 cc, in excellent condition, like new,

you have to see it to believe it.

lt's hardly ever been in the shop, great gas mileage.

Great, l just want you to know it's owned by a driving instructor.

Have a nice day.

You don't really think anyone will buy that car.

lt's a wreck. - lt's not a wreck at all.

My dad took care of it like a baby.

Then why are you selling it? - l need the money real bad.

No one will even come see it because it belongs to a driving instructor.

What if some jerk does buy the car? How will you teach me?

Can you imagine that this isn't about you, Micha?

Are you leaving me? l need this license.

This is irresponsible.

How... can you do this to me? - There are other instructors!

You're committed to me, it's unprofessional.

Your father would never have done something like this!

You selfish bastard!

My dad died and left me all his debts.

The last thing l want is to sell his car.

That car is him!

Have a lovely evening.

Can l take a break?

No. Run in the other direction, 800 meters.

l can't! My legs are burning! - Come on, get going.

What's going on with Reli?

She won't answer my calls.

You're better off, believe me.

When things don't fit, quit.

But he loves her.

Another expert on love... He'll love someone else.

lt'll take some time but you'll get over it, don't worry.

Can you love someone other than Mom?

How can you even compare?

Can you?

No.

Civic Comfort, 1800 cc, excellent condition, like new,

great gas mileage, never had an accident.

And it belongs to a driving instructor.

Umm... the blue book price, but l'm flexible.

Sure.

Yes, l can show you...

let's say an hour and a half in the parking lot outside the yoga center?

Great. What's your name?

Tzadok. Awesome.

See you there.

Bye.

Good night.

Bye, sweetie.

What are you doing here? - We said we'd meet here.

No we didn't.

Tzadok...

lt's not funny. -l'm not trying to be, l'll give you your asking price.

Are you insane? - You want to sell it, don't you?

So now you're buying me with money? - l'm buying your car.

Forget about it.

You have to keep it with all the memories you have of your father.

This car is him.

You're the only one who can teach me,

if not, l can forget about getting this license.

l'm used to you telling me "turn right", "turn left", "uphill start"...

"Get out of my car".

You know that you're nuts.

l'll do anything you tell me.

l'll breathe into the pain, l'll plant my feet in the sunrise...

Whatever you say.

Yes.

Sorry, the car is not for sale anymore.

First of all, we must clean this car, how can you stand this filth?

l feel safe with Moti.

He's wonderful.

He always makes me laugh.

He accepts me for who l am, baggy pants and all.

Then there's Ahmad.

Ahmad al Hatib.

l just say his name and my heart starts pounding.

One look from him and l melt.

l'm so confused, Mommy...

Ahmad.

Hot cocoa, Shlomit?

l missed you, my love.

Me too, my lovebird.

You talk to her a lot.

Of course.

l tell her everything.

Mainly good news so she'll want to wake up.

You wake me up too.

Do you like your movies...?

Which one is your favorite?

l like them all the same.

ln your last movie l didn't understand, are you the one who killed Asma?

Or was it Samir?

Samir.

Come, my love.

My darling.

My princess.

No, no. - So why did you come? -l missed you.

l told you not to come here. - l wanted to see my mother-in-law.

You have to watch over the baby in your womb.

You don't want to get sick, right?

Go home and l'll come later. - O.k.

She sweat blood for me.

She cleaned homes in the morning and cleaned the school at night.

l had to help her at night.

l'd collect the chalk, put the chairs on the desks,

scared to death that a pupil would see me.

She did what she could so l wouldn't feel deprived.

So l wouldn't feel deprived of a father.

But l always did.

Listen, Mom,

l made a vow not to have a child without a wedding and a commitment.

What l'm going to do, l'm doing with a heavy heart.

But l have no choice.

l've been looking all over for you. Let's go.

2 drags and l'm coming. - They're waiting for you.

Let them wait. One more minute.

One more minute, that's it.

Reli?

What are you doing here? - None of your business.

You're doing a good thing getting rid of it.

Who's your surgeon? l can throw in a word.

You said you're quitting.

Liat, my yoga... my driving instructor. l have a lesson.

We have to wash the car first.

l don't care, he's the clean freak.

l couldn't have done it anyway.

lt was stupid to believe my mom would wake up if l ran.

lt's a waste of my time and yours.

No problem.

So... Thanks, anyway.

l didn't do anything.

You believed in me.

l'm sorry about how l behaved during the last session.

My muscles are still cramped.

ls that why you didn't show up yesterday?

l'm sorry.

Shlomit...

Every night l dream that l'm running.

As soon as l fall asleep l start running.

Slowly at first, my legs are heavy, l can't breathe

and l can hardly haul my body.

But then it happens.

Suddenly l'm in the zone.

My legs become light, my breathing relaxes

and l feel that l can run any distance.

When l wake up and realize that it was a dream l wanna die.

But l choose not to give up and focus on the positive.

Where will you find another handicapped man who can run all night long?

Don't give up, Shlomit, you're almost in the zone.

Do you understand what l'm saying or should l say it in Arabic?

l still remember some words from my time in Egyptian captivity.

Syrian. -Syrian, Egyptian, it's all the same.

That's what so good about captivity, you earn another language.

Good, don't slow down.

One more kilometer and you're coming to shampoo my hair like you promised.

l didn't promise.

What? That's not nice, making fun of a cripple.

Everything's funny.

Stop. That's enough for today.

l can't, l'm in the zoom.

Zone!

Not "zoom".

Zone!

Reli.

Get out of here.

Reli, l have to talk to you. - l don't talk to wimps, get the hell out.

Reli, l love you.

Get out of here or l'll shoot you, l mean it.

Reli, let's calm down.

Coward.

What the...?! - He's fucking crazy!

What are you doing?!

Reli, l love you.

You're in a firing zone, get outta there!

l don't care. Shoot me.

Fuck!

Friday night l'm taking you to a family dinner

to tell my father we're getting married. l don't care what he'll say.

What are you doing? lt's dangerous.

Shut up! l'm talking to my wife!

Reli, give me one last chance.

l'm not going home without you.

This looks great, everything's in place.

No discomfort, right?

lt hurts a little.

A little pain is to be expected.

No swelling, everything's in place, do you feel the nipples?

l hope the feeling will come back.

Do you mind, sweetie? - What are you doing?

Why... what is this? - Get used to them in the meantime.

"Get used to them"? What are you doing?

How are you, Micha? - What do you care?

Ari's not here.

That's okay, l'm here to see you.

What for?

You have a wonderful son, Micha.

Talented, smart, good looking,

an amazing surgeon.

You insult him and humiliate him and crush him instead of supporting him.

You're teaching me how to be a father?

You've been taking pictures of me?

l could have made a huge mess out of this,

but that's beneath us, Micha.

l realized that what you're doing is not because you're unkind,

it's not to hurt Ari,

you really do care about him.

l guess you really think that l'm not good enough for him.

That's too bad.

You don't get me at all.

l'm a real catch, Micha.

So l'm not upper-class, l don't have a degree and my father isn't a judge,

but he'll have a wonderful life with me.

Now listen to me.

You're going to be a grandfather.

Ari decided he wants to marry me and it will happen soon.

l'm asking you,

be happy for him.

Support him

and give him your blessing.

This will stay between us.

Bye, Daddy.

Grandpa...

When you feel ready,

drive.

You did it. - Thanks to you.

You learned how to let go.

lf l were 20 or 30 years younger...

So?

So... maybe even...

What about my nose?

l'd operate right away. No question.

Of course.

Maybe in the next life.

You yoga people really believe that bullshit, huh?

Thank you.

You're too close to the right. What are you thinking?

l didn't notice.

Reli. What a surprise.

Dad...

Reli and l are getting married.

She's the woman of my life.

And you don't forsake the woman of your life.

l always knew that when l have a wife l want to love her like you love Mom.

Like you love one another.

Ari, l... - Don't interrupt me.

l always listened to you, l always valued your opinion,

even when you hurt me

and worse, when you hurt Reli.

But that's all over now.

l'm done being hurt by you.

l'm marrying the woman l love.

l'm marrying Reli.

After the holidays.

What? - A summer wedding is too sticky,

after the holidays it's... more elegant.

That's what Mom says.

Congratulations.

l really appreciate it.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Too bad Mom won't be there.

She will be.

7...

6, 5,

4, 3,

2, 1...

lt's just a reflex.

Sometimes they open their eyes too.

You'll see this a lot on this ward.

ln third place, with one hour and 53 minutes and 27 seconds,

Alec kirshner!

ln second place

with one hour and 53 minutes and 25 seconds,

Shlomit Geva!

Bravo!

Way to go, Shlomit.

ln first place...

Go for it, Shloma!

A guy tells his wife, if l had just one more inch l'd be a king.

So his wife says, if you had one less inch you'd be a queen.

Ora?

Good morning.

ls that Curry?

Garlic.

Tuna!

Best she eats something. - At least she can't drink.

Ari, you have the rings?

Don't worry, Mom, l got it.

What's this?

What is this? lt's all wet.

Where?

My dress is all wet. - What?

Oh my God! - What?

l can't control my pee. - Pee?

keep your eyes on the road. - lt won't stop, Ari!

Congratulations, your water broke!

But she has a month to go. - The baby is dying to get out.

Reli, do me a favor, hold it in, l just took the plastic seat cover off.

Dad, calm down.

Reli, l'm here.

Give me the sandwich.

Breathe.

Breathe, baby, breathe.

l'm pulling over. - Go straight to the hospital.

We have to call off the wedding again.

Shlomit, call Ahmad, tell him to take care of this.

Ahmad? Who's Ahmad?

Who should l call?

Moti, Moti, who said Ahmad? - You just said Ahmad.

Step on it, Micha!

Baby, breathe. - Dad, be careful.

Slow down, slow down.

Dad, slow down.

l'm driving slow!

Dad has a new license, he won't give it up so fast.

Mommy! - Breathe, Reli,

breathe into the pain, breathe in through your nose into the pain.

Plant your feet in the sunrise, plant them in the sunrise.

Breath in, like a tree towards the sun.

Relax your head like a heavy coconut. Look to the horizon.

lnhale, inhale...

What?

ls this a new thing?

Just something l picked up.

Look, it's helping.

Mommy! - What is it?!
