Lost Islands Page #6

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?

he would behave like a real man.

Why did you do that?

I meant talk to him,

not ruin his car.

Stop it, Erez.

My aunt works not far from here.

Let's go get

some money from her.

Opher, can you stop that?

- Sorry.

I don't understand

why Dad is so late.

We should try

calling him again.

Why?

He's been held up.

Do you think he's like you,

sleeping all night on the beach.

Maybe that's him.

Move your feet.

Hi, Gila.

What are you doing here?

I was at work.

I didn't want to call.

Avraham was in a car accident.

He was hurt and is in hospital.

Sima, do you understand?

How is he, Gila?

He's in surgery.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't want them

to notify you by phone.

We have to go to the hospital.

I know what I'll do.

I'll make sandwiches.

For the children.

Opher,

I'll help you with the little one.

Put his shoes on.

Come on.

Wow, what a mess.

- David, enough!

That is not helpful. Calm down.

Erez, get the bag

from my room.

Ido, stop, it's okay.

Ido, come here to me.

- Get his sweater.

Mom,

forget the sandwiches.

Put them in a bag.

Let's go.

Erez, come on!

No, no, no. No.

Hello, Simha?

It's David.

What's up?

Listen,

my father was in a car accident.

He's in hospital.

No, you don't have to come.

Don't come...

But you're not my wife!

Don't get all insulted.

This it is not a sign that we should

get married, Simha! So don't come!

Listen, sit.

The good news is that he will live,

the bad news is that he will sit.

What do you mean?

He broke two vertebrae.

His spine cord is broken.

His legs won't work.

He won't feel anything.

He won't be able to walk.

The artery in his back was blocked

and caused a hemorrhage.

Sometimes when a pipe is clogged

the problem is not the clot itself.

David, do you want

to help the doctors

free the clot with a toilet stick?

So let me continue.

The question is if the arm will also

be paralyzed. They don't know.

Opher, stop.

It is all nonsense.

Your father is a strong man

he may have some difficulty walking,

but your father will walk.

When he was little he had hepatitis

everyone said he would die,

but he overcame it.

Don't believe the doctors!

I brought sandwiches.

Who wants avocado?

Ido, cheese or avocado?

What's going on, Erez?

- What?

Are you okay?

- Sure.

Listen, I need you to help me.

David is in shock, Mom...

Noam and Ido are little.

We've always split the mess.

Say, did they say anything

about what caused the accident?

What difference does it make,

Erez?

The main thing is Dad.

How are you, Gila?

- Hi, Avraham.

How are you, Avner?

- Great, thanks. How are you?

The accident was three months ago.

You don't have to come every day.

Look at that!
