One night in a little bar in Tel Aviv. At the same time a refuge for Israeli soldiers, bohemians, supporters of the intifada and Zionists. Tonight, Leora, the owner, is taking photos of her guests. On monochrome Agfa film. At first, the various different resentments, ideologies and creeds remain under wraps. The closer dawn approaches, however, the more tense the atmosphere gets. When the drunken officer Nimi sexually harasses the mentally frail Ricky, the guests' tolerance turns to hatred. Life According to Agfa uses the microcosm of the bar to show a both apocalyptic and sharply-drawn portrait of Israeli society after the first intifada. "A powerful journey to the end of the night, a masterpiece." (Blickpunkt Film) Website: www.israelifilms.co.il
