Love and Madness can be confusing

Moshe Ivgi, the leading Israeli actor for the past twenty years, in a role that fits him best. A romantic nobody from nowhere, who falls in love with a girl who's way out of his league and is driven insane by the knowledge he can't have her. The movie plays around with the question - are we in love with a person, or are we in love with the ideal of love itself.

Not to be missed also are the most realistic portrayal of a madhouse, and the accurate portrayal of an Israeli dead-end suburb (shikun). Not much hope there in any of those places, but the ending will make you think about moving in.
