Winner of six lsraeIi Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and highly acclaimed in its U.S. theatrical release, Time Of Favor weaves an intricate tale of passion, loyalty and conspiracy amidst the contemporary poIiticaI powder-keg and timeless austere beauty of lsraeI's West Bank. In a fiIm the New York Times calIs "an arthouse thrilIer," deft characterizations and a fine-tuned pIot depict the peopIe and stakes behind an IsraeIi settIement with a clarity and compIexity not hinted at in today's headlines.
A highly respected soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces, Menachem (Aki Avni) is aIso a devout student of controversial West Bank settlement Ieader Rabbi MeItzer (Assi Dayan). Despite the army's doubts and the lsraeli Secret Service's suspicions, Menachem receives permission to lead 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 Alterman), gladly accepts the Rabbi's invitation to court his beautiful, headstrong daughter, Michal (TinkerbelI). But Michal, suffocated by settIement Iife and repuIsed 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 MichaI's secret passion threatens to destroy more than just their reputations. A vioIent scheme to bIow up the Temple Mount soon puts aII 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 reIevant to our Iives today |
