| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Good film on Post-Holocaust Israel, II |
| Under the Domim Tree is the second film of a two-film series based on Gila Almagor's stories about her upbringing in post-Holocaust Israel. (Either film may be viewed independently, though.) Almagor is one Israel's most noted and well regarded actresses, and her books reveal a childhood that surprised many Israelis.
Aviya is sent to live in a youth village (kfar no'ar) because of her mother's emotional instability following her migration to Israel as a Displaced Person. Her mother--remarkably played by Almagor herself--features minorly in the film, although her influence plays a major role in Aviya's development into a teenage girl facing love, loss, and self-consciousness. Aviya--the character based on Almagor--is sent to live in a youth village (kfar no'ar) because of her mother's emotional instability following her migration to Israel as a Displaced Person. Her mother--remarkably played by Almagor herself--features minorly in the film, although her influence plays a major role in Aviya's development into a teenage girl facing love, loss, and self-consciousness. Other characters include child Holocaust survivors still imprisoned by their memories and village staff--some who provide the nuturing their charges need, and some who don't. Under the Domim Tree is a poignant film, portraying Aviya struggles in reconciling the horror of her mother's Holocaust experiences with the ramifications of her own maturation into adulthood. The film is suitable for many age groups, namely high school on up. |
