Two teenagers' trials of growing up in Jerusalem (to say nothing of the dog!)

A thirtysomething Israeli wife and mother balances an affair and pressures of working at her father's accounting firm in the bleak, claustrophobic drama "Avanim." Though markedly superior in all departments to French-American helmer Raphael Nadjari's previous New York-set trio of films, pic demands much of auds, with little in the way of emotional payoff. Fest dates feel most appropriate, with some theatrical action possible before low-keyed ancillary afterlife.

Raveh does not only document the past, he documents a future that will never be, and the films that Amrani did not live to create.

The short films are interwoven throughout the documentary (imdb)
