A Hebrew Lesson
OT: Ha'Ulpan
David Ofek, Ron Rotem // Israel, 2006
Documentary Feature // FF2007
Story
A Chinese cleaning lady in Israel, a Russian who never wanted to come, but followed his family, a Peruvian Jewish princess in need of a reality check. They all meet in a Hebrew language course, which becomes a microcosmos of modern-day Israel. Directors David Ofek and Ron Rotem present a foreigner’s view of Israeli society, sometimes ironic and funny, sometimes tragic and melancholy.
