Yeah...

It's OK! I like peeping too some times

Boaz dear!

You know that

How do you mean?

Hasn't anybody ever told you that

you're handsome?

Yeah... I suppose

Your eyes... they're like

a young girl's...

We're in the same unit. Can't I tell

Of course you can

- Come closer to me!

Come closer!

Nothing. I'm just tired.

"My dear Boaz, my handsome man Hi!"

"It's wonderful to be able to toy

with words like "my dear"

"It amazes me how easily the typewriter

writes these two words..."

"...simply together,

one next to the other..."

"But where are you? I'm

sitting in my office right now"

"The door is locked"

"I have in front of me a cake

in a box that..."

"...I bought this morning

on my way here"

"I'll cut a slice for me and

a slice for you"

"Yes... I know that I'm losing my mind"

"Last night I couldn't stand

the pain anymore"

"I wore my sunglasses and

went to that place"

"You can imagine where I was"

"Many lonely and hungry men

were there..."

"...going back and forth like

butterflies amongst the trees"

"I've promised to myself many times

that even in my worst days..."

"..I would never return to

this horrible place"

"I followed eagerly all those men,

amongst the dead trees..."

"...wearing my sunglasses,

despite the darkness..."

"A young man, dressed plainly, started

following me like a dog in heat"

"He went behind the bushes and with his

hand made me a signal to kneel..."

"He pulled his trousers down and

grabbed me firmly from my scruff"

"I simply closed my eyes and

thought of you, my Boaz"

"As if your body was

going in and out of my mouth"

"When he came, he gave me a mean look

and asked for money to go home"

"Gimme money for my taxi fare!"

"Then I fell on the ground

and vomited"

"I was full of disgust and despair"

"I returned home, sank in my bathtub

and I couldn't stop crying..."

"And then I realized that I couldn't

go on like this anymore"

"I can't go on torturing myself

day and night..."

"...without knowing if at least you read

my letters, if you think of me at all?"lestehas ledo

"...or if you want me to

keep on writing to you?

"Listen carefully my Boaz"

"This letter will reach you on Thursday"

"At exactly 10pm on Thursday, I'll be

waiting hidden..."

"and I'll be watching the windows

of your apartment"

Drink your coffee. It'll get cold

"If you want me to continue

writing to you..."

"...turn on and off your kitchen light

three times, one after the other"

"Don't forget!"

"Three times at exactly 10pm!!"

"Then I'll be the happiest man on Earth

and my life will have new meaning"

"If you don't do that..."

"...I'll understand you and

never bother you again...!"

"...and this will be my last letter

to you"

You do realize that you won't get

any more mail in this POBox?

I understand...

Somebody is waiting for you,

in your office

- For me?

- Yeah

How can I help you?

My name is Noa

Noa... surname?

Boaz'es girlfriend!

I found these in his desk drawers

I know that you've written them!

I have no idea what you're talking about

Obviously you didn't notice that

I was on bus 25 a few days ago

Boaz told me:
"That's prof. Richlin

my teacher at the University"

I paid attention and I saw you

looking at him

That was the look of a man in love

But I kept quiet until I read

your last letter

Noa sit down!

You asked him to turn on and off

the lights three times tonight

I beg of you to leave Boaz alone!

I have no idea what

he's going through...

I didn't even enrol myself at the

Technion in Haifa for his sake...

I got a reply from Jerusalem...

Congratulations!

Happy?

We'd go out tonight to celebrate

I'd rather stay home

Are you sure?

- That was delicious, right?

- Excellent!

- It really tasted good

- I'll make coffee

- Finally, you got your reply!!

- Yeah...

- Is there any left-overs to nibble?

- Sure, I'll prepare a plate...

No, leave it! I'll do it myself...

Is everything OK?

Look at the lower shelf

of the refrigerator

- What's wrong? Where are going?

- I'm suffocating here. I need fresh air!

Do you want me to come with you?

No! There's no air here!!

Don't you get it? I'm suffocating!!

Sorry!

Are you crazy?

Go f*** yourself, maniac!

I'll use your perfume

My noney...

Call me again...

- What happened?

- Prof. Richlin resigned...

No one knows why. People say

he sounded very ill

Well, shall we leave now?

What is this?

In memory of Amos Gutman 1954-1993
