A moving and thought provoking film about Eve, a teenager studying filmmaking at 'Hadash High school' in the prosperous northern part of Tel Aviv while living in Kfar Shalem, a poor neighborhood on the southern side of town. Eve and director Amir Har-Gil set out on a journey in which they document her family's life including her mother Nava who after being abandoned by her husband keeps a day job in a kindergarten and a night job as a cleaner; her brother Itzik who serves in an elite combat unit of the IDF; her sister Sari who begins to recognize the socio-economic gap between herself and her classmates at her new junior high school. Eve offers viewers an intimate account of her life which includes a temporary move to a Kibbutz, confronting students who ridicule her social status and her falling in love with a South African man about to leave Israel, and her, behind. In her sharp-witted manner, Eve confronts the prejudices immanent in Israeli society against lower classes and Mizrahi communities. Using a realistic 'direct cinema' style, the film unfolds the family's daily routine and reveals the caring relationship between the mother and her two daughters and her continues attempt to shield them from the deprived position they have in capitalist Israeli society

The hero of this story is not a famous man. He has won no awards and you probably have never heard his name. Yet, Yosef does one of the most important things a person can do today for the environment: He is a beekeeper. The documentary illustrates how terrible and cruel today's world is for the bees. Most of the world's city-dwelling human beings have not (yet) experienced the destruction we have wreaked on the planet for the past 100 years. But for people like Yosef, who try to live in harmony with nature and earn their living from it, this devastation is an everyday reality.

Judah & Mohammad is an intimate portrait of two teenage boys, one from Israel and the other from Palestine, filmed over 18 months. As their personal development is shaped by the conflict that goes on around them and as violence in the Middle East reaches boiling point, the film features access to the pair's classrooms, where history lessons are as much about the present as past events.
