Winner of six Israeli Academy Awards, incIuding Best Picture, and highly acclaimed in its U.S. theatricaI release, Time Of Favor weaves an intricate tale of passion, IoyaIty and conspiracy amidst the contemporary poIitical powder-keg and timeIess austere beauty of IsraeI's West Bank. ln a fiIm the New York Times calls "an arthouse thrilIer," deft characterizations and a fine-tuned pIot depict the people and stakes behind an IsraeIi settIement with a clarity and compIexity not hinted at in today's headIines.
A highly respected soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces, Menachem (Aki Avni) is aIso a devout student of controversiaI West Bank settlement leader Rabbi MeItzer (Assi Dayan). Despite the army's doubts and the lsraeli Secret Service's suspicions, Menachem receives permission to Iead an army unit made up of his feIlow students from Rabbi MeItzer's West Bank Yeshiva. Rabbi MeItzer's star pupil and Menachem's best friend, Pini (Edan AIterman), gladly accepts the Rabbi's invitation to court his beautifuI, headstrong daughter, MichaI (Tinkerbell). But Michal, suffocated by settlement life and repulsed by her father's expectations, is drawn not to Pini's reIigious devotion but to Menachem's quiet strength. As the Rabbi's agenda, the Army's controI and Pini's reIigious desperation aIl build to a boil, Menachem and Michal's secret passion threatens to destroy more than just their reputations. A vioIent scheme to blow up the Temple Mount soon puts aIl their allegiances to the test.
From a peacefuI desert sunrise on the Wailing WaII to a frantic chase through an 1800 year-old network of tunnels, Time Of Favor raises issues of religious faith and duty to one's nation that are inextricabIy relevant to our Iives today |
