Lost Islands Page #3

Synopsis: The year is 1980. The Levis, a large family with a unique lifestyle, live in what was then a rather naive State of Israel. Mr. Levi lectures his children daily on the importance of fulfilling their dreams, while his wife preaches absolute family loyalty. The family's twin boys both fall in love with a new girl in town. Erez, our hero, discovers how difficult it is to balance family loyalty against fulfillment of one's personal dreams. Matters become increasingly complicated when Erez somehow causes a severe family crisis. Beset by guilt feelings, he attempts to escape his fate, somehow exchanging dreams with his twin brother. He is drafted into a commando unit of the Israeli Army, just as his brother always dreamed of doing, while Ofer remains at home to take care of his broken family and has an affair with the love of Erez's life. Can Erez challenge destiny? Of what value is the life of someone who does not fulfill his dreams?

I don't understand

anything here.

So I thought that maybe I could

borrow your notebook.

No problem. That's fine.

I'll give it to you

in the next break. - Great.

Thank you, Grandma.

- You're welcome, Neta.

Erez, I need your notebook.

Opher, I need your condoms.

Because Grandma is

going to f***.

Grandma, I told you

she's going to be my wife.

Opher, At my

current level of horniness

I would sleep with your sister

and your wife in the same bed.

I've had such a long dry spell

that sometimes when I masturbate

I fantasize about other times

I've masturbated.

Really. Look, here's Ms. Melikson.

I have a hard on.

Good Morning, Ms. Melikson.

Grandma had been our best friend

since we were seven years old.

He would steal his father's

porn film every Friday evening.

He always made us laugh.

But I always thought

he was the saddest guy in the world.

When I grow up

I'll make movies.

Porn?

- Not porn, you idiot.

What do you know about

filmmaking?

My brother will

make excellent movies.

He's good at bullshitting.

At least I am not full of sh*t.

What's the matter?

What's going on, Dad?

- You tell me.

What did I do?

- Did you take the tape?

No, I didn't.

- You're a pervert!

Dad, Dad.

- You're a pervert.

Dad, stop it.

If it's your film,

why am I the pervert?

You're a loser.

I'm not a loser, Dad.

You won't

even be a street cleaner.

I'll be a race car driver.

I'll drive in Formula One.

It's your film,

so how come I'm the loser, Dad?

Dad, what are you doing?

Taking Layka to the same place

I took your bicycle.

Two years earlier,

Grandma's Dad took his bicycle

and threw it into the river.

I saw your math notebook.

It's filled with

drawings of naked girls.

Dad, please.

Layka, Layka!

Layka!

That was the last time

we saw Layka.

You never liked

walking that dog anyway.

Shut up!

- What?

Didn't you see

how his father spoke to him?

Who cares

what his father thinks?

Next year he'll be a soldier.

That dog was the only one

I could count on in my family.

That very day,

Grandma decided to take revenge.

And he did it

in the best way possible.

He went to his fathers stash

and fulfilled his dream.

He had always wanted

to drive a Mercedes.

Yes! Yes!

All right!

Hey, what do you say?!

Grandma's wheels.

It looks like a refrigerator.

- Where did you get the money?

Start it up.

- Later.

Come on, start it.

Later.

You have to push to start it.

So, what do you think?

Do you know that the commando

can hide in an ordinary street?

They can?

- Yeah, sure.

A commando could be standing behind

that electricity box right now.

Why are you

going to a combat unit?

Now there's
