THE DISTANCE
(Hamerhak)

Country:
Israel
Run Time:
85 minutes
Using a strained and careful technique, director Dan Wolman pentrates the depths of a subject at once personal and universal-one's obligations to one's parents, one's people, and one's country. Oded, a 35-year-old architect, emigrated to the US a few years ago. He is still married to Judy, an America, and has a young daughter, but his parents hold out hope that he will return to Israel one day. He visits briefly when his father's health deteriorates, and is intrigued by an attractive job offer from an Israeli company. Oded's situation is paralled by that of Svetlana, a new immigrant living with Oded's paretns. Svetlana left her parents and native country to make her future in Israel, and now fills the void left by Oded's move to America. THE DISTANCE is a story of seperation from loved ones. It deals with an ageless dilemma-balancing the value of parents and native culture with that of broader opportunities offered by a foreign country.-Jerusalem Film Festival. In Hebrew with English Subtitles.
