This movie is about a basketball coach called Benny, that is used to manipulating his players, his friends, his wife and his mistresses when suddenly, everything starts to fall apart for him. The film focuses on a few days in Benny's life. As the film progresses and it seems as though his luck has run out, he behaves more and more pathetically until the end of the film where you almost feel sorry for him. Although this low budget movie has elements that are somewhat dated, I think Uri Zohar gives one of the best performances of his career both as an actor and as a director. If you appreciate his work, you will most likely enjoy this film.

YONATAN-NEVO26 October 2006That film is a must see. and thats why.... you'll ask? because of Uri Zohar.
Uri Zohar was an icon in Israel and always meant a lot for non religious people. he was a symbol of freedom and an appreciated artist. Uri Zohar today is a rabbi and that movie marks the period when Uri sick of his life as a non-religious person feeling that life without religion is life without purpose.
starring in the film side by side with Uri is Arik Einstein which is still an icon in Israel and considers a national singer.
never-less you don't have to know those facts to enjoy the movie. this is a story of a man in trouble. he finds himself in a situation that he must stops being and act childish and star acting as a family man.
