Lost Islands posterLost Islands (Iim avudim)

Lost Islands becomes quite moving in its latter stages - particularly in its depiction of the relationship between Erez and his father. There is a remarkable quality to both of these actors, and they generate an authentic and touching relationship in spite of the trauma they suffer.
