Our take
A pointed satire in the vein of his smash hit The Band’s Visit, Eran Kolirin’s latest comedy wryly dissects the sociopolitical gap that widens when an Arab village in Israel goes into military lockdown. Punctuated by visual gags, the absurdity of forced confinement is tackled with humor and pathos.
