Winner, Best Feature Film, 2010 Jerusalem International Film Festival
Winner, Sakura Grand Prix, Tokyo International Film Festival
In Israel in the early 1960s, a new generation is growing up--the militant Israeli, the generation that will ensure there will not be another Holocaust. Unfortunately, Aharon, a sensitive boy with a highly developed inner world, does not quite fit the mold. His soul seeks refinement, art, contemplation– everything he is unable to find at home. How could he? For his parents, the Holocaust reduced human existence to war and survival. But Aharon refuses to become like his parents. During three years he does not grow an inch, until he realizes he is partly responsible for this, and so he embarks on a dangerous inner journey: to cross the boundary dividing childhood and adolescence
