Lost Islands Page #7

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?

Wait a minute.

Take my Chevrolet.

It should be moved

once in a while.

Why did you lie to the boy?

Why did you tell him

there was oil on the road?

Sima, family is like a hand.

Each one is a finger and I am

the thumb that protects them all.

Never tell him otherwise.

Do you hear me?

Never, Sima.

In the time

that has passed since then,

I've been happy

and I've been sad.

I've been right

and I have made terrible mistakes.

But I've never felt as free

as I felt there,

in my mother's living room

with five children

who were stuck in time

and watched "The Lost Islands"

every summer.

Dedicated to my family

who taught me how to love.
