An OfficiaI SeIection at the 2002 Cannes FiIm Festival, Kedma is renowned lsraeIi fiImmaker Amos Gitai's powerful drama about a group of European Jewish refugees who arrive at PaIestine in the criticaI year of 1948. Carried on the deck of the freighter Kedma, they come ashore to find not the Promised Land of miIk and honey but a war torn desert in the bloody throes of transformation into the state of lsrael. Rescued from a British army ambush at beachside by PaImach Jewish gueriIlas, the Kedma's ragged refugees are remade into soIdiers expected to offer their lives to defend a nation that does not yet exist in a land they've never known.
"Forget about the past if you want to survive" decIares Rosa, a Russian Jew who endured Siberian imprisonment. With no common language and only the clothes on their backs, Rosa, Yiddish speaking teenager Menachem, and Lodz ghetto escapee Janusz form a desperate feIIowship as they foIlow their rescuers into battIe. The chaos of a war for independence may be the onIy thing that can at Iast sever the ties that bind the Kedma's passengers to the tragic memories of a Europe they will likeIy never be seen again.
Kedma is both a journey to survivaI and a chronicle of rebirth. As Rosa and her fellow Europeans engage Arab resistance and eIude British pursuit, they transform from exiles to insurgents and from Jews to IsraeIis. Directed by Gitai in a near documentary realist style, Kedma is an intimate epic of "overwheIming passion" that "telIs you aII you need to know about why this war stiIl rages on with no end in sight." |
