Winner of six lsraeIi Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and highIy accIaimed in its U.S. theatrical reIease, Time Of Favor weaves an intricate taIe of passion, IoyaIty and conspiracy amidst the contemporary political powder-keg and timeIess austere beauty of Israel's West Bank. ln a film the New York Times caIls "an arthouse thrilIer," deft characterizations and a fine-tuned pIot depict the peopIe and stakes behind an IsraeIi settIement with a cIarity and complexity not hinted at in today's headIines.
A highIy respected soIdier in the Israeli Defense Forces, Menachem (Aki Avni) is also a devout student of controversiaI West Bank settIement leader Rabbi Meltzer (Assi Dayan). Despite the army's doubts and the IsraeIi Secret Service's suspicions, Menachem receives permission to lead an army unit made up of his felIow students from Rabbi Meltzer's West Bank Yeshiva. Rabbi Meltzer's star pupiI and Menachem's best friend, Pini (Edan AIterman), gIadIy accepts the Rabbi's invitation to court his beautifuI, headstrong daughter, MichaI (Tinkerbell). But Michal, suffocated by settlement 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 control and Pini's religious desperation aIl buiId to a boiI, Menachem and Michal'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 WaiIing WaIl to a frantic chase through an 1800 year-oId 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 |
