Lost Islands

Come give me a hand.

Let me do it.

Lift it up.

Wait... no...

A bit more.

Don't move.

Erez, I'm out of toilet paper!

Opher, "Lost Islands" is starting!

I'm out of toilet paper!

Erez, don't sit there.

- What did I do?

Your brother

needs toilet paper.

I'll miss the episode.

You've already seen it.

He never takes toilet paper.

For God's sake,

he's your twin brother.

- Kfar Saba, 1980 -

My mother has always wanted me

to look out for my brother,

Opher.

She said he was born weak

and almost died.

Maybe that's why she wanted

me to look out for him.

Thanks, slave.

Every summer vacation we watched

the series "The Lost Islands."

Five regular kids on an island

whose natives were stuck in time.

"Lost Islands"

My Dad

didn't like the series.

You're addicted.

My Dad preferred to grow cacti.

He used to say that cacti

are like the Jews,

no matter how hard you try

to kill them, they survive.

You can always find them

on the street for free.

Why should we buy Begonias?

Some day you'll talk about

the crappy car your father had

and you'll say,

"Our Dad was such a nut.

"He drove a dented car

with torn up seats."

Not like the beautiful car

we have today.

You will tell them,

and they won't believe you.

Dad, we don't believe it now.

Opher, you don't get rid of

an old car until it dies!!

What don't you understand?

- Avraham, this is heavy.

We won't be able

to get in this year.

Yes, we will.

Bend your leg!

- There's no room!

What's the problem?

Avraham, why are we stopping?

We're stuck, Sima.

- Oohhh...

Dad, what should

I tell my children now?

Erez, this is no time for jokes.

- I knew it.

Ido, we're all going to be murdered.

Duck down!

Mom, Opher is scaring me!

Stop it, Opher.

It's probably the electricity.

David, get out and fix the wires.

It's not the electricity, Sima.

It's the petrol, we're out.

Why didn't you fill the tank?

Because I don't want to die

with a full tank.

I want to die with

an empty gas tank.

There goes the Seder. This is the

last time I'm going with you.

Next year

I'm going to Simha's parents.

Go! Go to that cow of yours.

If she had come with us,

we'd have to tie her to the roof.

Opher, shut your mouth!

Dad, what

are we going to do now?

Sima, give me the whiskey.

Come on, let's go.

This is an American car,

it was built using technology

from the Apollo 11.

It has parts from spacecrafts

that flew to the moon.

If you have a dream,

pursue it to the end,

then nothing can stop you.

Nothing.

Pay attention.

Now, everyone push. Together!

Wait.

- One more.

I know it's hard to believe,

but that's what the '80s

were like in Kfar Saba.

Cars ran on whiskey

and my father believed in dreams.

Each of us

had to have a dream.

David, my eldest brother,

was supposed to be an attorney.

Sima,

your son is crazy.

He told you

he wants to be a plumber?

You knew about this?

Sima,

it's an act of treason.

It'll pass in a month or two.

I really want to be a plumber.

- See?

He fell on his head once

and you didn't tell me?

Did someone hypnotize you?

Avraham, he's a good boy.

He looks after his brothers.

He supports himself.

Take your brother, Avner,

will be in combat units,

and he's a plumber.

True, his wife's a slut...

Gila is not a slut.

- Yes she is.

Erez, make Dad some coffee.

Opher's dream was to be in

an elite commando unit.

Why did you do that?

We're going to graduate soon,

Erez.

If we don't write in school

"Ricky Wagner is a b*tch",

what does that say

about our generation?

You know you're an idiot?

Look at these heros.

"Memorial wall"

All the commandos

broke into the school.

Now they're here.

Good night!

- Where are you going?

Erez, Erez, stop!

This is my trophy. I won it.

It should be in our living room,

not here.

I'm tired of your nonsense.

- Erez!

Why do you always leave

just when the fun begins?

I didn't win this,

but it will look good in my room.

Idiot! Do you think that you'll

get into the elite commando unit

with a police record?

Do you think they need

criminals like you?

From now on, you must think,

sleep and dream only of that.

A person who has no dream

is better off dead.

Take this and return it

to the school, right now.

Dad, I won't return it.

I won it.

What?

- I don't believe it...

David, shut up.

I still don't understand how you

left your brother behind.

What kind of brother are you?

Me?!

I told him to come with me.

Erez, a family is like a hand.

Each finger is easily broken,

but if you stick together,

you're invincible.

Opher stole it

and you're blaming me?!

Erez, Mom's right.

I called you

and you didn't answer.

That was wrong of you.

Then that huge guy caught me

and choked me and I couldn't breath.

I don't want to talk about it.

It's not funny.

I always dreamed

of making films.

Every time a new film

was shown in the theater

it was like

an invitation to Cinderella's ball.

Our house looked like

Cinderella's before the ball.

My brothers and I

were on cloud nine.

We lived for the cinema.

Simha! What's wrong with you?

Did you iron my shirt?

- Here it is.

Thanks, Mom.

- What about my shirt?

I didn't have time.

Can you do it yourself?

I want to sit with Gila.

Erez, I'll iron it for you.

Can't he do it himself?

Don't you know

who irons best in this house?

Erez, You're very independant.

If you ask me,

you'll be the first one

to fall in love and get married.

Me?!

- Yes.

You're like your mother.

You are a one-Iove man.

Listen to your father, David.

You're absolutely right,

Avraham.

Simha, enough.

You're sucking my blood.

I only married Gila because

her mother was sick.

She came to me

and said, "Avner,

my mother is dying and I want her

to see my wedding."

And now, twenty years later,

why isn't your mother dead, Gila?

Listen, she heard that jogging

is healthy.

She's 76 years old

and training to run a marathon.

Don't get married.

Pass me the peanuts.

With a family like this,

you'll never get married.

I'm on a verge of a new career,

I have to build my reputation.

As a plumber?

So, it's not good enough

for you either? - No, No, No.

Anything you choose is good enough.

Just, choose already.

I am so horny!

I need a car.

I'm 17.5

and I haven't done it yet.

Not everyone

who's f***ed your mother has a car.

What about the fling you had

with the sheep on the class trip?

Do animals count?

- Of course!

Hey, Watch out.

I got in first!

Did you see the new girl?

Her name is Neta.

She's mine.

I called it first. - Okay.

She's off limits, Erez.

She'll be my wife.

How do you know her name?

I got the speed & good looks,

you got the deep thoughts.

I've already masturbated

thinking about her.

Can I trust you?

- Of course.

Because we were twins,

we were always forced to share.

But we had an agreement.

Whoever called it first, won.

Opher said he saw her first.

There was nothing I could do.
