Boaz Davidson co-wrote and directed this nostalgic schoolboy romance, taking place in 1950s Tel Aviv. The story deals with three young men -- Bentzi (Jesse Katsur), Momo (Jonathan Sagalle), and Yuda'leh (Zachi Noy) -- who only have girls on their minds. The boys, searching for their first sexual experiences, encounter middle-aged nymphomaniacs and unclean hookers. Then things become more serious. Bentzi, shy and introspective, falls in love with a cute girl named Nili (Anat Atzmon), but Nili is in love with Momo. When Momo gets Nili pregnant and then dumps her, Bentzi agrees to stay in Tel Aviv during summer vacation to arrange an abortion. Bentzi confesses his love to Nili, but when summer vacation is over and Momo returns to school, Nili runs back to him.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
