About an hour ago, 8 missiles fell on
Haifa.

One of the missiles hit the railway
depot building.

Haifa, July 2006. 2nd Lebanon War. 8
people were killed and dozens injured.

One of the workers, Dani Kadosh, said
that

there was a warning siren, but there was
not enough time to run to the shelter.

Father, in my life I have not seen Haifa
so deserted. Missile fire,

and should we go today?

I said that he waited as much as he
could,

but today is the last day. - Why such an
urgency?

Said urgently. Today is a must.

- He hears badly. - What is hard of
hearing?

He is hard of hearing.

A serious one is probably angry.

Are you sure you haven't gotten involved
in anything?

How could I get involved in something?
Two years tied to the house.

Trying to write a new book. Where could
I get involved?

Lord God ...

War.

Jacob Bride died a week ago.

I am in charge of the inheritance.

My direction is this:

exactly one week after the funeral,

I must meet with you. By two.

Ignoring the heirs, he bequeathed
everything exclusively to you.

Inheritance?

- To me? - I waited a few days,

I thought the war would end.

'But you can't wait any longer.' 'Just a
minute, I have to understand.'

Yankele Bride left a legacy to Arik?

- My Arik? - Yes.

Apartment,

bonds ...

- How did he earn it? - Cash accounts
...

Not by matchmaking.

- Do not interrupt. - I can take ...

This notebook?

I have not seen her ...

from the last time ... It was ...

30 ... 38 years ago.

He kept it all these years ...

- I don't know if I can take this money.
-Well, indeed ...

I, in general, was sure that he hated
me.

These are complexes.

To disappear for so many years and now
...

Your mother will not believe.

Do you remember what she thought about
him?

Jankele Bride ...

We need to go to the grave, put flowers.
Thirty probably.

When the war ends, let's go together.
Tell me

- you do not want to go with my mother
to me in Tel Aviv? 'I don't want to
worry.'

Drive home. Bye.

In the summer of 1968 I was almost 16
years old,

and the only thing I wanted was to turn
18 and join the army.

To be a soldier, to fight! ..

I heard that in Paris, New York, young
people of my age

go to demonstrations and say that they
want to love, not fight.

I did not understand what they were
talking about.

I did not understand why such an
interest in love. No more important
things?

More serious questions?

Is there a god? Is there life after
death?

Why did dinosaurs die out?

Why only love, and love, and love?

Then I met Jankele Bride ...

What, are you sick? Did you see how you
passed it to me?

'Could you take a simple transfer?' 'Did
you see how you passed it to me?'

- You said you want to be on the
defensive ... - You saw how you passed
it to me?

- Guys, mid game. - I am broken, I am
broken.

- We'll rest when we die. 'I can replace
him.'

- Michal, well, that's enough. - Come on
the ball and run from here.

Say, "Please get out of here."

I warn you, toad!

- Give me the ball! - No problems.

Wow, Michal!

Yoram, Yoram ... Leave her, this is a
girl, well ...

What's the problem?

I have no problem. There is a question.

Each of you probably has a brother

- an older sister who is looking for
love? - What?

My name is Jacob Bride, a matchmaking
specialist.

Do you have brothers, sisters?

Maybe aunt-widow? Family problems? Also
- my specialty.

Problems?

Family problems.

Something the family does not say, what
is ashamed, hides.

But it happens.

Perhaps there are in your families?

What's the problem? Are they with tails?

What are the tails? What, you want to
tell a joke?

Okay, here is my business card.

Jacob Bride, matchmaker.

If someone knows uncle, aunt,

or someone is looking for love, contact
me. I give a bonus.

- What is the bonus? - Award.

Something good. Not a bike, but a good
one.

So, contact, yes? And ...

please do not fight.

Sorry to bother you, I just saw your
bag,

and it seemed very beautiful to me. Is
this your husband bought?

I'm not married.

Not scary. Maybe I can help.

My name is Jacob Bride. By the way, I'm
a matchmaker.

Get up, get up, get up ...

There is my phone number ...

Mister matchmaker ...

I thought about what you said, and ...

you're right, this is really not good
when there are problems.

Therefore ...

it's a little difficult for me, but ...

I have a sister. Older sister. She is
20.

Very beautiful, very smart, but ...

There is a problem.

There is a problem with arms and legs.

Hand problem? What is the problem?

Yes, it's not really hands, it's ...

like fins ...

- Fins? - Not really fins,

she's not a fish, but ..

She has membranes between her fingers.
You heard about it, probably?

Like a duck.

I know that I look crazy, but ...

Nature is sometimes so cruel.

'Does sister have fins between fingers?'
'It's hard to talk about it, but ...
yes.'

We live here ...

Enter the stairs, first floor, on the
right, Burstein.

My father was completely desperate.

Sometimes he even denies that he has a
daughter.

He had already lost hope that anyone
would take her.

This is my job. I'm sure that we will
find her someone.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Maybe find someone with gills?

Shut up, he will hear.

Hello my lord.

Sorry to interrupt at such a time, I ...

came because I heard ...

that there is a problem, and I think I
can help.

What is the problem?

The problem with the daughter. My
daughter ...

fins.

The membranes between the fingers.

I think I can help my daughter.

Daughter with fins?

Which fins?

No need to be ashamed.

My profession is matchmaking.

I also fix problems

like your daughter's fins.

I can find her someone.

What? What?

- Who are you? - My name is Jacob Bride.

I am a matchmaker. My phone is here. You
call

and I'll probably find her a groom.

I can help your daughter.

- Jacob Bride? - Jacob Bride.

What? Jacob Bride?

He studied with me in the same class in
Karajil Biyashi.

I studied at Karajil Biyashi.

I ...

I am Yogi.

- What Yogi? - Joji, Joji Burstein.

- Yogi? - Yankele ... - It can't be.

They told me that you got to the camp.

Come on, come on, come on in, let's go.

- When did you come to Israel? - Come
on.

- Nili, go see who is here! - Tell me,
are you an idiot?

'You don't know your father's friends?'
'How can I know?'

He is from there. I don't know anyone
from there.

Good thing you don't have a sister.

She would be offended.

Well, the fact is that the idea itself
is not bad.

- Like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but
you have Carmel Fins. - It's funny.

Very funny!

Sorry ...

K. Tsetnik is the writer who wrote The
Doll House, right?

About Jewish women and Nazi officers who
forced them ....

"His name was Ashes" - is that also
obscene? - Obscenity?

We have no obscenities here.

K. Tsetnik is Yehiel Dinur Feiner, wrote
11 books,

created a new genre of catastrophe.

He wrote about what he saw.

- But, if you want a book less
provocative ... - No, this one is
suitable.

I will take. This is ...

- interesting. - Yes.

A good choice! Although this is not
Agnon

, I am for it. We will not be snobs.

Detective literature is good. It can be
perceived as edification.

Correctly? She is needed to fight evil.

What does philosophy do? She explores
cognition and thinking.

- Correctly? How useful is a detective?
'There are also killings, right?'

Right?

Yes, the killings.

What are you doing?

'What are you holding down there?' -
Nothing. - Nothing?

- What is written on the ad? - "It is
forbidden to eat in the library!"

Give me what is in your hand.

I eat at home, not in the library.

He is chewing a sandwich!

Insolent! What a cheek!

- No thanks. 'How long have we been
living here?'

We are here ...

We moved from the kibbutz 16 years ago
when Arik was born.

How long have you been living in Haifa?

For almost 20 years.

Who would have thought! Living in a city
that Yogi did not even know about.

Everything changes, right? Haifa is not
so big.

Where do you live?

Here in the area.

Ah, on Carmel?

Not on Carmel, but ...

in the area.

- Water, Yankele? - No thanks.

But in Haifa?

Yes, in ... That's great. Have you
cooked this?

- No, she didn't cook, but bought it. -
Arik, come here, we have a guest ...

are you hungry?

No, I'm not hungry.

Son Arik. Jankele Bride, my school
friend,

like you and Beni, the best friend.

That's lovely! A son!

Well, what a joy. Son of Yogi.

Nice.

My father and I studied together at
school.

My father had a stormy fantasy at
school. He thought up various stories
well.

What about the storytelling? Also good?

The inventor ... what else! Dreamer.

He reads a lot, but only detective
stories.

It's already big, it's time not to
fantasize, but to do the real thing,
work.

Well, if you like to read detective
stories and want to work,

maybe you'll come to work for me, in the
Lower City.

- To the Lower City? - Where in the
Lower City?

Lilliputian cinema, in the passage.

A family of midgets who escaped from
Auschwitz, from hell itself,

runs a movie theater ...

My office is there, near the movie
theater.

Well, 5 lira per hour, is that suitable?

The lower city is a place for children.
I am no longer a child.

For the one who lived upstairs on
Carmel, the

Lower City was ...

something unknown.

"Civilized" people went down there

only to buy goods that sailors brought
smuggled.

Luxury goods that were then impossible
to get in the country, like ...

French perfumes or American cigarettes,
or real jeans ...

I have never heard of a cinema of
midgets.

Cinema operated by 7 midgets?

It seemed to me that this was something
from Wonderland.

Good morning, Meir.

Ah, young Burstein!

Well, have you already read Ameta?

No.

It's a pity.

'Glass key,' you know, he wrote,

drawing on the experience of his life.

He was a detective himself.

He kept a diary.

It was ...

Shame on you! Watch out!

- Be ashamed! - Fine, I have to go. -
Yes Yes.

- Job. Bye. - Look what they did here.

Little devils!

French perfume received today.

Hold on for a week. Smell for a
kilometer.

Boy, boy, come here.

Goods that arrived today from the port,
things that are not in stores.

I have something for you from the Far
East. Look here.

See this maid?

Dressed. Where is the swimsuit? Dressed.

I'll give you two for the price of one,
agree? Only for you. Wrap up?

- Leave, I ... - Madam, Sylvia,

have received a new product, look.

- Police! 'Sorry, Ms. Sylvia, I'll be
back soon.'

Tell me, do you know where the
matchmaker is here?

Jankele Bride.

Matchmaker? You are too young to already
lose hope of finding yourself.

What?

- Well ... - Oh, no ...

Not for that. I'm just starting to work
with him today.

Are you the new "spy"?

Look, go up here, past the exit from the
cinema,

there, opposite the Beigel bakery, is
Jankele.

I am Sylvia.

Arik.

Thanks.

News. Latest news.

The artillery battle at Theale.

Suez City liquidated!

News. Latest news.

Madam Sarah, I cannot force a man to
marry.

The fate is decided by the Creator of
the universe, I am only his messenger.

But, this is not what I am looking for,
it is not love at first sight!

Madam Sarah, love at first sight is a
divorce from the second, believe me.

Swat is like a doctor,

you tell him what a problem, he tells
you what a medicine.

'But he is not handsome.' - What is it -
beauty? Who needs beauty?

Tomorrow I will arrange everything. Paul
Newman is a good guy. Marry you.

During a honeymoon, a car crashed into a
tree. Damaged face.

Now throw it because he is not handsome?

No, right?

Madam Sarah, from me you get not what
you want, but what you need.

I want a wedding, indeed.

See you.

Well, Fins, come in.

Well, ready to get started?

Your job is awfully simple.

You have to check - who comes here in
search of love,

and who - for fun, yes?

Our world is now full of liars.

I, as a matchmaker, give my guarantee
that I carefully checked the candidate

- before the matchmaking. - How to do
it?

You love detectives, right?

Your father said you read detective
stories all the time.

And now you will be engaged in detective
work practically.

I want you to check this guy.

I feel that something is wrong with him.

He always comes to my office in the
morning.

But the bus returns to the kibbutz only
at night.

What does he do till night? Does he have
anyone here?

I want you to check it.

So you're waiting at the cinema.

As soon as he leaves my office, you
follow him, right?

'You write down every place he goes.'
'Mr. Bride,

if you are sitting here, this is bad.'
So you are not looking for a groom for
me.

Why not looking, Sylvia? I'm thinking
about it all the time.

Ask at least a new spy. For whom, I
said, should I look for?

- For you. 'Madam, Sylvia, every day,
Sylvia.'

No need to worry. In the end, I will
find.

Look ...

Have you seen this shorty?

Similarly in height, it can suck for
hours without pain in the knees.

Can I have salt?

- Yankele, do not ... - You

said obscenity about the unfortunate
woman who went through the camp hell.

Can I have salt?

Thanks.

I said thank you because it's polite.

When they give me something, I say thank
you.

When I offend,

I say ...

- Sorry. - Did you hear? He apologized.

Why didn't you eat what's in the plate?

- Do you like Romanian cuisine? - Just
ate already.

It is important that the plate is empty.

If you don't, I'll milk.

I never leave food in a plate. Never!

Listen, good news. I have here, not far,

cameras, vacuum cleaners, tape
recorders. Come on.

Well, what are you looking at?

No

matter ... Do you think the zoo is here?

Throw it to me, huh?

I am warning you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Well, how was it?

Go sit down, read what you wrote down.

I wrote down only ... the

address when he arrived and when he
left, and ...

- after that he went to the bus station.
'The address right away is good.'

Often you have to wait for the address,

keep track of which apartment you
entered, with whom you met, right?

Who did you meet? How? How is it
possible?

You will learn, gradually, experience
will come.

Let me just finish something here.

What ... what are you doing with the
newspaper?

I celebrate customers.

Someone died, then there is a widow.

There is a widow, there is work.

This should be done immediately after
the funeral, right?

Ok, what time is it?

Four.

You are welcome.

Five, The Fins.

Fifteen, twenty ...

You can go.

Tamara, I ask you to go out. What you do
is not good ... I beg you!

The neighbors are looking at us. You are
welcome!

Come out now!

There

was only one significant difference

between Beni's Iraqi family and my
Romanian one: Beni had many uncles,
cousins,

and Uncle Naji arrived in that summer,

who had left for America several years
before the war.

But, more importantly, I

came with my uncle ...

his daughter.

What you did in that house is a big
shame, you can't do that.

Now you have the opportunity to improve.

Come on, I ask. All this month I will be
in Germany.

You will meet uncle and aunts, decent
people.

I don't understand why he wants to leave
her here if she doesn't want to.

'Because she's ruined?' - Enough, okay?

Your sister is not spoiled. She ...

- She ... - Problem.

- Why problematic? - You don't want to
go out? Okay.

I will take you from school, you will
part with friends,

and I will send you to a religious
school.

Every day you will see only boys in
bales.

Forget about college. And about free
love.

Come out now!

Is that what you do to me? Do you want
to break my life?

Will you not let me study?

That I was underdeveloped? Do you want
to break my life?

You tarnished the honor of the family, I
will ruin your life, okay?

Come on, go!

Sorry you have to move to another room
because of my father.

I will show him!

Dumbass!

Can I be quiet?

My and your dad are asking quietly.

Do not roar because of this!

Dad, she doesn't want to be quieter!

Get it now!

Member, I will get!

What did you say?

Dick ... I'll get it!

Tamara, be quiet!

And here you dishonor me?

She also said the word ...

- which begins with the letter ... -
What word?

letter by word ...

what boys have and girls don't have ...

No, this hint is too complicated for
him.

'They won't understand what I said,'
dick. ' - Shut your mouth! - Naji! Naji!

What happened? It is a part of the body.

You see? This is my misfortune. What did
I tell you?

- Emancipated! Burns bras ... - Without
them, much more convenient.

You go out and everything is shaking.
What will people say?

What Naji does not have money to buy a
daughter a bra?

Understand, be obedient, and everything
will be in order.

Family is a wonderful thing.

Go to the sea, go to a concert.

What kind of concert?

I was curious to get up every morning
and keep an eye on Bride's clients.

Especially if you suspected that, in
addition to matchmaking, they have other
goals.

Maybe not quite legal ... The

eyes of the Lower City.

- Hello. - Hello hello.

- What is heard? - In order. How are
you?

I'm fine, thank you. I'm so excited.

A woman opened the door for him.

I did not consider it well, but it
seemed to me that she knew him well.

He had been with her for an hour.
Everything.

With her or her?

In her apartment. I don't know with her
or hers.

No? But it is important.

Because if I make a wrong conclusion
from your notes,

it can bring misfortune to a person.

Remember, Arik: what you have not seen,
you do not know.

Your notebook has tremendous power.
Don't just write, right?

Need to check.

Where did you go? Who did you meet? Yes?

'But, how will I go?' By what right? 'By
my permission.'

You have an imagination.

You are inventive. No, fins?

Say you are raising money for those in
need.

Say you're lost and ask for a glass of
water.

A dog has bitten and you need a patch,
or something like that.

- What, should I lie? - This lie is for
the good. - Yankele.

Madam Clara!

I apologize for being late, the film
will begin now.

Okay, Fins, come tomorrow. I have more
work for you, right?

Hello my lord. Is this the new "spy"?

What's your name?

Arik. Burshtein.

This is the son of my friend Yogi, whom
I told you about.

Ah ... right, yes, Yoji.

Can you rely on him?

For cleaning? Will not tell?

I told you, if you want, I'll take it
away.

- Don't be afraid ... - No, no, you
already do too much.

I also need help, not "espionage",
cleaning.

Yankele had one worker in front of you.

Who suits Yankele, suits me.

'How much does the miser pay you?' -
Hunks?

5 lira per hour, is that bad?

Well, what did I say? Miser!

I cry 6. What do you say?

News! Latest news!

Artillery battle with the Jordanians on
the Dania Bridge.

OK, then I went.

Jankele, maybe invite him.

It's not pretty ...

Fins, come here for a minute.

Mrs. Clara says: it is not polite that
we go to the cinema and do not invite.

And yet, the "spy" ...

This is also an Indian film, terribly
sweet.

All the time my heart hurts and they
sing.

And do not spend the money that the
hunks pay.

The hosts are our friends.

"Spy"?

Mr. Bride and Mrs. Clara, what an honor!

Please come in.

Even if I'm not happy that Mr. Bride
goes to the cinema during the day,

instead of looking for a groom for me.

Looking, Sylvia, looking. Do not worry,
I will find, I'm sure.

It's nice to go hand in hand, like in
Europe.

Speak, speak and speak ...

Yonel, I believe, believe in ... love.

You will show me great courtesy if you
allow me to tell you

how I feel.

You taught me to laugh ...

- Arik, do you want something? - I want
what?

Something from the kiosk. Is there a
drink? Maybe waffles?

Do you want

Madam Clara, do you want to drink
something cold?

Ok, go get the tempo you want.

Bring me the Sankor from the fridge.

But only from below, from the
refrigerator, so that it is not warm,
right?

And to yourself - whatever you want.

Don't worry, you won't miss anything.

They have been singing here for an hour.

You will return, they will still sing.

I know this movie.

The movie is good, right?

Yes, good.

You will show me great courtesy if you
allow me to tell you ...

It hurts me to see Jankele. Such a good
person!

'It's like a proverb:' A shoemaker
without boots. ' - Shoemaker, what?

He is a matchmaker, but he has no love.
Like a shoemaker ... without boots.

- A minute, what? She and he are not
together? - Of course not.

Impossible. But, you know how he would
like?

Why is it impossible?

Why is it impossible?

So go. If you come back tomorrow, you
won't lose too much.

- The kiosk on the right. - Thanks.

"How are you, mom? Glad to see you, mom.

Need help, mom? No, thanks, I'm fine."

Hello Mom, nice to see you. Everything
is fine?

- I went ... - Tell me how it was?

- It was nice. Everything is fine. -
What? What were you supposed to do?

- I can't rush to the concert now. 'Just
a second,

say something about this Bride.'

What is he like?

Even his father does not know anything
about him, except for what they had in
childhood.

'He's a little weird, no?' - Yes, a
little strange,

but everything is in order. Indeed. I
will tell you later.

'But you are careful, right, Arik?' -
Yes Yes.

I knew that it was not good to look ...

But, I was sure that Beni told her about
the periscope.

In that case, she knows that someone can
see her.

And, therefore, does it on purpose.

In detective novels there were always
beautiful and dangerous women,

and they had some kind of plans that
involved the hero in trouble.

One way or another, I could not help but
look at her.

Sorry, I knocked ...

I didn't know that you were getting
dressed.

Sorry I'm interfering, right?

- Look, Tamara .. - Can you fasten me? -
Of course yes.

If you accidentally burned your bras

and you need it now, I can give you one
of mine, right?

Tell me why are you taking care of me?

What am I 10 years old? Father
deliberately humiliates me.

- Why is it humiliating? 'The shame I
will arrange for him here will

shut up all the mouths that faint from
his money.'

So not good ...

This is Beni and Arik, his friend on
top.

Since Beni was 10 years old, they've
been in touch all the time.

He sees this, and this sees him through
the periscope.

How is the family.

Here, Tamara is ready.

Here we are waiting for you, Beni, and
your best friend, Arik.

Eat first, then ice cream.

Look how good it is here.

I can not stand this heat! How many
songs are left?

What are you doing here?

He came to save you from death.

To not die of boredom.

How is it in the country of midgets?

The circus?

Crazy House?

And boob, romanian swindler?

Shut up!

Did I already say that the heat is
unbearable? How much more can you sing?

Do you have a heart? Who is she at all,
Jona Pamona?

This heat is, in fact, unbearable.

I say, a movie.

Who goes?

Madam from the Wild West has already
fled.

What? How did you run away?

Mom will kill me.

- Tamara! - Sheer misfortunes! Cousin!

I bet your friend is already in love,
head over heels.

Tamara, I beg, please ...

No, where are you going, Tamara? Come
back here. What? ..

Tamara, what are you doing?

No, no, no ... Tamara, Tamara, what are
you doing?

What...?

No, no, please come out! Please, please
...

No, no. Tamara, please come out.

Tamara, you can't.

Tamara, come out, well ...

- Benny, come on in. - You are welcome!

'Well, Beni, don't be soap, come in.' -
Yoram ...

Yoram, what are you doing? Yoram!

'Don't be a coward, come here.' - I ask!

- Come on in, the heat is outside.

Yoram, what are you doing?

Get out both. Oh please. Yoram, we will
be kicked out of the concert.

Guys, come on, buzz. Beni, come here.

Do not be square! Arik, go!

What does square mean?

Go, go, it's hot outside.

Beni, come in!

Where are the girls?

Come in girls!

Beni, Beni, Beni!

Do not do this.

Beni, come here!

- Beni, Beni, Beni ... - Beni!

Beni, you are a genius!

You are a genius, you are a genius! What
an idea!

Your friend is persistent.

This Tamara ...

didn't leave my mind.

Although this is not logical,

I felt that I fell in love with her.

I also knew that she liked Beni,

who was like a brother to me, but they
don't do that with a brother.

To stop thinking about it,

I decided that I had a chance to do what
I had wanted for a long time -

to write a detective story.

Now that I had to spend a lot of time in
the Lower City,

which would be full of dubious types,

I could do what the waiter at Emil and
the Investigators advises Emil:

write down everything that happened in
the notebook.

Spy, are you sure you don't want
anything?

'No, I don't want anything.' - Even
juice?

In fact, I have everything: grapefruits
and oranges, that's all.

I really do not want anything.

- What happened? - The worst. My teeth
...

You can neither be too hot nor too cold
... I

poured a lot of milk ...

I worked at the end of the war at a
factory of bombs and grenades,

dealt with explosives

and earned lead poisoning in my mouth.

It's good that the poison remained in
the mouth, and did not spread to the
whole body.

Arik, Arik, cards, please pack in the
same color

so that there are no problems.

- Do you know how to play cards? - Yes.

What do you play? Ramie? Poker?

War.

War, well, then, I know.

And, Arik,

you're already a big boy ...

delicate. Do not tell ...

Do not tell what?

Well, about the cards.

This is not a crime.

Many people, like me,

cannot sleep at night

after ...

what was there ...

I do not like to talk about the past.

Only you will know what is happening
here ...

Nothing wrong.

I came to Israel ...

went to bed ...

and had dreams ...

I screamed.

The neighbors ran to screams.

I play cards ...

not to go to bed.

You now have a face like that of my son
...

I'm trying to explain to him, but he
does not understand.

My boy is in a kibbutz ...

In a summer camp?

No, not in the summer camp, he does not
live with me.

I don't have the strength to look after
him.

I tried, tried ...

It's hard. He is crying. And I'm
starting to cry.

I do not want him to grow up, with a
spoiled mom.

You understand?

And when do you see each other?

He comes here ...

to visit me.

What a fool I am! Why spoil your mood
with your stories?

Come, Arik, come here.

There is a gramophone.

Put the record down.

I knew about the Holocaust, like all my
friends.

That is ... not too much.

In our family, father spoke little,

and mother ...

mother did not allow to talk about it.

Arik, I

heard a joke yesterday, you

'll fall ...

A drunk man enters the elevator,

sees a woman there, ugly,

and says to her:

"Madam, you are ugly."

She replies:

"My lord, you are drunk."

He says:

'Yes, but tomorrow it will pass ...'

It's funny, isn't it?

Really, is this funny? This is
ridiculous.

I'll go put my face in order.

Yankele?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Today you are cleaning Clara, you were
not told to come here. What are you
doing here?

I thought ...

You cannot come here when you want.

You will come here when I say!

'Now you have seen what is impossible.'
- No, I have not seen anything.

Do not lie, I saw!

Why did you come here today?

Now I have a problem.

What should I do with you now?

- What? 'Arik, it's

good that you are here.'

I think you ...

forgot it from me.

I read to know whose it is. Otherwise, I
would not know.

You write beautifully.

About different people.

Thoughts are very interesting.

Are you not writing about work?

What is written in the notebook?

This is the secret, mine and the "spy."

But, do not worry. I can keep secrets.

And you keep secrets, okay?

Good?

Sorry, sorry Meer.

Here, and if you can ... without a fine.

Crime without punishment?

Maybe you'll finally read Crime and
Punishment?

Everything you like is there. And the
detective story, and the murder.

'At least it's good literature.' - Not
now.

Not now, not now ...

- I told you that I started working. I
finish late. - I heard ...

- At the matchmaker? - How do you know?

Beni told me.

He was here, recorded his cousin, who
lives abroad.

She is here now.

- Where is "here? 'Up here.' In foreign
literature, English.

'Well, since Tuiber Swat?' - What?

"A man will not marry, unless Toyber has
a hand in it."

"A simple story."

- Agnon. - Agnon ...

Agnon writes about Toyber:

- "He has a real talent for wooing."
'Just a minute, Beni is still here?'

I went to buy groceries in the store
until it closed.

Well, is he as talented as Toiber, your
matchmaker, or not?

I do not know.

I don't know ...

I just thought, I've

been thinking about this for quite some
time.

You know, they say: "It's not completely
human being ..."

I thought, if you are familiar with him,
and if you say that he is talented and
...

does not take a lot of money ...

I would like ...

This is not for your age, Arik.

Why not? What, is this a book about the
Holocaust? What's wrong?

You know very well that guys of your age
read "Doll House",

just because of the episodes, you
yourself know which ones ...

Arik?

I thought I heard you.

I am looking for a book in English, but
...

here the stairs are staggering.

You can come for a minute, help me, of

course. Of course.

- What is this book? - It's about Jewish
women

that the Germans did to them.

I heard he said that this is not for you
...

What, you are 6 years old?

It's strange. There are ...

sex scenes, and he is afraid that it
will ruin you?

Hold it here.

Here people relate to the floor, as if
it was ...

some kind of dark secret.

- Hold it well. - I hold, hold ...

- You do not hold, but ... - I hold,
hold ...

Okay, yes.

Okay

Tamara?

Tamara? Tamara!

Dear Vizier!

Dear Buyan!

Found it.

Sorry ...

Since when do you read English?

No, no, she just asked to hold the
ladder, and ...

You know, this ladder is the enemy of
man.

You must understand that, from my point
of view, you are a diamond,

and a diamond must have a gold frame.

Not tin, not copper, but gold.

And not necessarily 18 carats, but at
least 12 carats, right?

And this woman is real gold.

Not tin, not copper, but gold, right?

OK, then we'll arrange a meeting.
Tuesday.

And, before that, I will send you to a
woman

who will teach you how to behave with a
lady.

She takes not expensive.

And come back. I will arrange. Not what
you want, but what you need.

He returned.

I thought, scared to return after what I
saw.

Or, rather, I didn't see ...

I had a bet with Mrs. Clara - will you
return to work or not.

Who won the bet?

Ms. Clara always wins.

She is a wise woman.

She says that, in her opinion, you can
rely on.

Well, then come back tomorrow,

and if there is a client, I will send
you to check.

Wait a minute ...

If you are here, it means that the work
is really interesting to you.

If you want to study, come with me now.

I know what you want to say, this is at
work.

It's in my head all the time.

Who is in my head continuously?

Sylvia. Sylvia all the time.

Come on.

We have come to work.

My method is not just to give a business
card,

you need to recognize the person who is
looking for love, right?

How to recognize Everyone wants love,
but ...

Maybe without a wedding, youthful, free
love.

I do not make free love, I am talking
about another love.

You should, Fins,

look for signs that a guy or girl wants
serious love, right?

Love, not entertainment.

You know, today, if a guy looks at a
girl, what does he see?

He sees the chest, sees the ass. That is
all that he sees.

But, before, when he was a child,

he did not understand that breasts,
buttocks are interesting things.

He loved a little girl with pigtails
from class.

Why did you love?

It is in the heart of nature.

This is true love that lasts a lifetime.

Do you see the guy sitting there on the
bench?

Let's look for signs.

He doesn't have a wedding ring, does he?

This is a good sign.

Judging by the clothes, he is a person
with a higher education. Also good.

Now look, who is he looking at?

You see the girl who is in line for ice
cream?

He looked at his watch: you need to
return to work.

But while sitting here, licking ice
cream.

This suggests that not everything is
good in his life,

looking for something sweet, huh? Signs

You can see everything, right?

- Like Sherlock Holmes, and he has ... -
Now the exam is real, look.

The girl pays, will now pass him by.

Well, what will he look at?

On the face, or chest, or backside?
Well, Sherlock, tell me?

'I'm talking to ... that.' - For what?

- To the bottom. - For ass, say, for
ass, do not be afraid.

- Ass. - Backside, very good, backside.

And I say no.

You know? Swat with the soul,

represents a person from the best side.

Lame, says a good matchmaker, does not
run after the girls.

Blind, excellent, - does not look to the
side.

Dumb, very good - there will be no
disputes in the house.

I also say: he will be shy, he will not
look to the left.

Well, let's see ...

Well, probably I really am Sherlock, and
you are his friend, doctor ... no?

Watson. What, did you read Sherlock
Holmes?

What did you think?

I have never been a child before ...?

Good.

I'll go give him a prize - a business
card. Do you watch here, right?

- Let's say you can find one? - We need
to try, but you can.

What adorns love is surprises.

Everything is extraordinary, every
person.

Even if at first it seems impossible.

But, if at first it seems impossible,
then how is it possible then?

Say, life brings with a person who is
initially bad?

No bad, no bad.

You can never know.

What, are you an agent of an insurance
company and give out an insurance policy
for love?

I will tell you one story.

Once, there,

we were hiding in the cellar. With us
was a woman, a mother

with a baby.

And the baby was crying.

All the time he cried, without ceasing,
cried.

The Germans ...

We heard that they are upstairs.

Mother tried to reassure the child.

To no avail.

Suddenly, at some point, a tall guy
stood up, Birion,

and closed his mouth to the child.

Strangled.

The baby is dead.

The Germans left, we fled to the forest,

and instructed the tall guy, Birion,

to guard and protect us.

And that mother stood beside him there
all the time, so pathetic,

looking up at him ...

It was as if she expected him to return
her child to her.

One night, in the forest,

she and Birion became close.

You say: how can you? He killed her
child.

But they became close.

And after the war they were together.

We came here to Israel for many years
together.

So I ask you: love ...

Can you know - good or bad?

Hello, madam.

You have a very beautiful chain.

Is this the husband you bought?

I'm not married?

Not scary.

My name is Jacob Bride.

I am a matchmaker.

It's not good for a person to be alone.

Keep checking the kibbutznik until you
find something else.

This is your next job.

This girl is religious.

Her parents came to my office. They are
looking for her groom.

Parents are very rich, looking for a
groom with a pedigree, right?

But, I met a girl and I feel that there
is a problem.

- What is the problem? 'I want you to
check it.'

You'll go to her house in the morning,
wait until she leaves ... For a

minute ...

Her address is recorded here in the file
cabinet, right?

- This is Meir. 'Do you know this man?'
- Yes, he ...

I take books from him in the library.
And he is looking for love.

I said I would give him your business
card.

Very good, Fins.

Deserved a prize.

- You are welcome. Hello. - Hello.

Thanks.

- I wish you success! - What, are you
leaving? - Yes.

- Jacob Bride. - Meir. Meir Gutman. -
Sit down.

Look, Meir, what's outside is not
important. What's important is what's
inside, right?

When I speak with you, I feel that you
...

you are like a diamond.

A diamond needs a ring of gold.

- Not tin, not copper, gold. 'I know
that I'm not ... a

man is not handsome and not ...

not tall.'

Women do not like low men.

Once I had a meeting, a relative
arranged.

Some came, one and a half heads above
me.

It was unpleasant.

If you take me to find someone,

I must be above her.

- It's important for me. - I am writing
down.

- Look for the little one. - I don't
know ...

How do they say ...

- What do they say? - Well, that's not a
problem.

I will lead you to a private lesson,
maybe even a few.

Private lesson?

- Mr. Bride ... - Mrs. Clara,

Thank you for taking the time.

As you say, this is a good deed.

And a small income. But really small.

Please come in.

You are welcome.

What's your name?

- Meir. - Meir.

Well, why are you looking at the floor,
Meir? Dropped the money?

Oh please. Well, I see the eyes.
Finally, a little light in the house.

Come in please.

You are welcome.

I understand that you have no
experience. This is not scary.

It's hard to talk about it.

I see you are worried ... Standing with
a briefcase. Embarrassed.

Why are you embarrassed?

I know you think

she doesn't like women, like you, but
...

There is nothing in you that you can be
afraid of.

The woman does not care about all this
nonsense. Nonsense.

The woman is important soul.

I'll put my briefcase here, no one will
touch.

It is important for a woman that you
will come to her with a goal

that you will be excited,

shaved and bring flowers.

Well, look in the mirror.

'Why is it hard for you to look in the
mirror?' - I do not like.

Well, that is the problem. Do you not
love yourself?

How will she love you if you don't love
yourself, right?

Come on, take a look.

You see?

Look, what a charming man!

Look, see the eyes?

How much soul, how much strength! You
are a strong man!

No, don't be afraid. We will not dance.

I just want the music to sound when you
think of a woman.

Romance.

Now close your eyes

and start moving your body.

I know this may seem a little silly, but
it will all go

away , rely on me.

Come on, Meir, just start to

feel the music.

Well, not like a palm branch. Come on,
try again.

More feeling. More than a basin.

Let the music enter your soul.

Stubborn Esther is here with us.

This music is closest to love.

Know ...

that your love is what awakens her love.

You give birth to self-love in her, you
save her from loneliness and pain.

You will be her hero.

Look into my eyes.

Feel in the heart?

Now you know better how to approach? Can
I introduce a woman?

Yes, you can try ... The

lesson was good. It helped, huh?

Yes Yes. Very very.

An irrelevant question: do the

lessons she gives do not interfere with
her husband?

No, Clara has no husband.

No?

Let's leave Clara and talk about you,
Meir.

Do you know? I have an idea:

you said that it's important for you to
be taller than a girl.

I think I have someone for you.

Someone ...

Beautiful. The face is very beautiful.

'Really beautiful?' - Greta Garbo.

Breast Sophia Loren.

Your age, approximately.

Beautiful heart.

And, most importantly, as you ask, it is
small.

Very little.

'If you want, you can arrange a meeting
today.' - Today?

Until the lesson is forgotten.

- I'm not sure what it is ... - No need
to be afraid.

If you want, I will join you too, so
that you feel calm.

'Maybe also Clara will come.' - Clara?

That there was confidence, that you felt
support.

'You and Clara.' - If you want to.

Jankele really wanted to find love for
everyone ...

I already understood that it was not
about money,

that he was engaged in smuggling goods
to earn money.

- Hello. - Hello! How are you?

- I'm fine. Thanks. - I've been waiting
you.

More and more, although not at all a
hero, I

was ready to take risks for him.

- Hello. - Hello. - I...

I am looking for the daughter of your
neighbors,

but no one opens me there.

I tried to knock, but I do not want to
make a fuss.

Maybe I can call them from you?

But I don't think they have a phone.

- They have installed the day before
yesterday. - Indeed? - Yes, brand new,

red like that.

- Beautiful, have not you seen? Not
invited? - Yes, come in.

Yes, you can? Can? Thanks.

'I'm glad to hear what they installed.'
- Yes. - Here is the phone.

Sorry to interrupt, I just thought that
you would like to hear,

Arik, why are you standing? Come on, sit
down.

The hunks are inviting you to drink, no?

So what about the kibbutznik? Did you
get in?

Very good. Well done, "Fins".

So what happened there?

He teaches Tanah there, preparing for
his perfect age.

And the woman ... He has no business
with her.

Perfection is good. This is very good
news.

The kibbutznik is getting ready for a
perfect life, which means order with the
matchmaking.

Yes, but, Yankele, why at this age do it
secretly.

Probably afraid - what they say in the
kibbutz.

Kibbutz and God - it's like a cat with a
dog.

What about a religious girl? What is
going on there?

Meets a non-religious young man.

Need to send a woman to check.

Maybe you have a girlfriend who knows
how to flirt with men?

Here it is ...

"Fins", you'll go now, invite Ms. Sylvia
here.

'I'll be in the office in an hour.' -
Meir and Sylvia?

- He knows that she ... - She, what?

What is the problem?

- A small problem with growth ... - What
is growth?

Sylvia is the heart, this is the soul.
What is growth? Is man a growth?

Hi, Meir.

Where are you going? Did you arrange all
this?

- I have a job, I ... then. - Meir! -
Sit down, Meir, sit down.

Look at you! I looked up, I was sure

that Gary Cooper had appeared.

I told Yankele: "What is Gary Cooper
doing in Haifa?"

- She said or did not say? - She said.
As I saw you, she immediately said.

Please enjoy.

Yankele told you to come ...

My heart beats hard. It seems an
intelligent man.

Yankele said you are familiar with him.
So what do you think? Will there be
luck?

I don't know ... I don't understand this
like Jacob.

I know, I know. I'm coming.

I look like? Beautiful?

I didn't know if it was a good idea for
me to come, but ...

Yankele persuaded me, therefore ...

- He persuaded you? - Yes, what Yankele
says, I ...

- No need to be afraid. Remember what I
told you, huh? - Here she goes.

Look how beautiful she is, what a soul!

Not Greta Garbo?

Who would believe! Gary Cooper and Greta
Garbo are here in the Lower City in
Haifa.

- But, she's small! 'You asked the
little one ...

I found what you asked, Meir.'

Take the chance. Maybe small,

but she has a big heart and soul. Take
the chance, you won't regret it.

Everything will be okay.

- Sylvia. - Hello, Sylvia. - Hello.

Jankele told me that you work with
books.

Meir is very, very intelligent. Very
smart, very.

Ms. Sylvia also loves to read books.

And she also has great talent in
business affairs.

The whole movie theater is hers.

Not just mine, the whole family.

We bought this cinema for the little
money that we had.

And films are the best, only love.

What could be more important than love,
right?

Here is my idea: after the religious
leaves, send ...

to this young man a girl

who will try to turn his head around and
...

see if he really loves the religious or
not.

- Not bad idea. - Yes.

Then ... I thought ...

Thought of what?

Tamara? This is not dangerous?

What is dangerous? What is dangerous, in
the middle of the day, the

park, people, I will be there.

That is, we are with you.

Tamara, can you come and talk to us for
a short while?

Where is Arik?

Yes, let's go.

What an honor! I was invited to a men's
club.

Do not look at them, Michal. If you
don't learn how to cook, who will take
you?

- What? - Arik has a suggestion.

You can say no.

'I don't say no.' - No?

- No. 'You said no.'

Great ...

What is the suggestion?

Close the door.

So?

News! Latest news!

Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia ...

- News! Latest news! - Replace me,
please.

Jankele ...

- Sylvia. - Hello.

Well, Meir spoke to you? Did you say
anything?

Because I really liked him. A librarian
is a good job.

Sylvia dear, I told him you have a
golden heart.

No need to worry, I'll call him and tell
you everything.

- My heart is ready, I give it to him. -
I'll tell him. - Tell me.

I'm hot.

Someone bring a drink.

Isn't it difficult for you, Beni?

What to buy?

It doesn't matter anything cold.

Take it.

What?

Now what?

What do you mean, what now?

You wanted me to come, not another, you
could ask your girlfriend.

I have no girlfriend.

Arik,

in a week father will be back to pick me
up. We will never see each other again.

Maybe it's worth spending some time
without Beni, no?

- But you and Beni, you ... - What am I
and Beni?

Arik, tell me you don't think about me
and I will stop.

Five seconds

Two ...

- Well, I get it. 'What did you
understand?'

What you need to wait for when this
religious comes out, although it's
already very boring.

Here she is, here she is. Come on, come
on, well ...

Of course, she has a father, a knocked
prude, ruining her, like my father.

Here she is leaving. Everything.

- Now. 'Before he leaves.'

- Sorry ... - Strange ... - What is
strange?

I suddenly realized that if she flirted
with someone in fact,

I would be jealous.

Funny no?

Well, so what do you say?

I, how to say ...

Beautiful, no? Greta Garbo!

And small, as you requested.

Now you're a head and a half taller, no?

Are you talking about the one from the
movie theater? Oh ...

- Well, so about whom? - I'm talking
about ...

About Clara.

'Do you want another lesson from Mrs.
Clara?' - No.

Not a lesson, I ...

I want Clara.

No, no, Meir, Mrs. Klara is not for you
...

Indeed, Klara is not ...

- Klara is not for you. 'No, but what
does that mean?' Why not for me?

Why not for me? I ...

I felt something in her ...

She said that every woman wants me.

'She said that because it is her job.' -
What is her job?

Cheated? .. Said just like that?

What, you ...

- You make of her ... as if she ... - as
if she what?

Meir, don't interfere where you can't
interfere, right?

Ms. Clara is a beautiful woman and
unhappy.

- She suffered a lot of misfortunes
during the war. - What is the
connection?

That you can't understand at all ...

Why can't I understand? I understand
very well.

- If I was not there, I can not
understand? - Meir ...

A beautiful woman who was in the camp
and went ... through hell.

It is very clear what the hell ...

The fate of the unfortunate horrifies,
the heart breaks for her ...

And for all these midgets in the cinema.
You need to be good to them ...

What does it mean to be good to them?
What are they cats?

- Meir, these are people. - Good.

I have to find you a woman.

What are the odds?

Saying, "I want Clara,"

is like saying: "I want a young girl,
that one."

It's impossible!

So not Sylvia? Then you can have other
girls, right?

No, I want Clara.

Meir, my task is to give you not what
you want, but what you need.

Do not overestimate yourself!

Well,

I suggest you come here tomorrow,

and we will see the photos.

We are done. Bye.

As it was?

Your matchmaker, Toiber, he's not ...

Well, Fins, come in.

Have you seen a religious girl?

What kind of story is there with the
young man? Good or bad?

'She would like to speak with you.' -
Yes.

Yes, I went and did what Arik told me to
do.

When we returned, we talked about it and
...

came to the conclusion that it was
impossible to inform her.

Like this, "did you say"?

Who cares what you talked about?

Now tell me, did he flirt with her or
not?

- Good ... - Quiet, I'm not talking to
you. - I do not know.

She doesn't want to tell.

And, besides, probably this is really
not our business.

I do not pay you for talking, I pay you

to do what I tell you.

Now answer me quickly:

did he flirt with her or not?

Ok, we are done.

I don't want you to come here anymore,
Arik.

'You don't work here anymore.' What time
is it? - This is not good.

- This is really not good! 'Who are you
to tell me, good or bad?'

What time is it?

- What a terrible person! 'He's not
terrible; you just don't know him.'

Why are you protecting him? He fired
you!

'Well, that's his right.' - His right?
What is his right?

This matchmaker wants to get money from
her parents, don't you understand?

Why didn't he tell him that nobody was
concerned, what they were doing
together?

'You don't have the drop of courage that
this girl has.' - Stop it.

- You do not understand anything! - I do
not understand?

You are just a miserable coward and
snitch!

Jankele, we were lucky yesterday. Earned
1000 lire ...

Not Jankele ...

- Sorry for coming without warning. -
Meir.

Yes, I just wanted to say thanks for ...

help and for ...

I would invite you to come in, just ...

- I'm waiting, the guests should come
... - No, no, no ...

I don't want to bother, just ...

- Is everything all right? - Yes.

- If there is something that you don't
... - No, no.

- If someone makes you ... - It's all
right.

You are very cute, and the flowers are
really beautiful.

- Who's there? 'Me, miser.'

I nearly had a heart attack. He came,
saw everything here.

Now, I probably went to the library ...
I'm sorry!

Who was here?

Jankele, close the door so that the
neighbors do not hear the noise.

- What, teeth again? 'Not only ...

What, the one who came to bother you?'

Well, what did he see the tables?
Beverages?

So you probably have a party, what does
he know?

No need to worry.

Jankele will settle everything, right?

It's the happiness that I have you.

Indeed.

Yankele,

I know, it's not easy with me,

I'm sorry. Love will come

to you ...

Love will come.

I have patience.

One day you will be ready.

I'm waiting.

How do you endure me, Mr. Bride?

'How do you endure me?' - Enough.

Enough is enough.

Where did I win you?

Are you inviting me to dance?

- Arik! - Arik! - Arik ...

Arik!

Arik, Arik ...

Your friends made a noise. Tell them not
to make noise, father is sleeping.

- Arik ... - Arik ...

Good morning, vice-matchmaker!

'Did the girls tire you?' - Stop
screaming, Yoram!

We go to the sea, come on, get down.

Just a minute

- You read? - What, "Doll House"?
Started once ...

And ...

Why delve into this?

Are you going to the sea?

- Yes, it seems ... - At high seas,

you can't walk all summer.

Fooled you!

- What, are you normal? - Well scared,
huh?

Well, sick of it! How long to?

Silence testifies that one of you is
dead.

Just a minute ...

Hello.

Sorry to interrupt, I walked here by
accident and ...

I bought a gift for your boy.

I thought if he is here, I will give it
to him.

These are books about great writers.

I know, he likes to write, and thought
...

Passed by chance here and by chance did
you have a gift?

Jankele, why don't you come in?

- No, I walked here ... - By chance ...

I think your boy was a little offended
by me.

I was angry, raised my voice a little.
No matter.

I do not want him to have a feeling of
dislike.

So I bought something.

Happenes. What?

It happens sometimes, right? Come, come,
come in.

Ok, I'll bring water.

There is no pie.

It is good for weight.

What is it? What is it? Louder! Louder!

Finally, a normal song in Hebrew. You
can even dance to it.

A twist or a shake ...

- Well? - Here, in the middle of the
street?

Give it a try. Useful if you go with
someone to a disco.

Well, who is dancing with me?

- Well, Beni ... - Well, well.

The most buzz.

Look what a life.

Two boys who once played snowballs are

sitting here, talking and drinking hot
tea.

Your wife is smarter. She drinks cold.

Because it is local, it has

not seen snow in life.

You have a wonderful family.

And the boy is handsome.

What is beautiful? This is nature.

Sorry I'm asking as a childhood friend
...

why?

Don't you have anyone? How can it be?

This is the whole story ...

There is a woman ...

Well, not free?

The heart is not free.

Hello!

Is there hot water?

Arik ...

- Dad, I'm going to the shower. - Come
here, we have a guest.

But I'm all in the sand, running to the
shower.

No one has died of a handful of sand.

I do not want to walk in the sand.

Jankele brought you a present.

Hi, Arik.

I know that you wrote stories in your
notebook.

You seem to be talented.

So, I thought ...

Someday you will become a great writer,

and maybe this ...

maybe this will help you.

Take it.

Thanks.

The fact that he brought me books was
really wonderful.

Adults usually do not take childhood
dreams seriously.

I did not want to follow the religious
girl again.

And although I didn't say anything,

I think he understood this,

and sent me to keep an eye out for a
possible bridegroom for Sylvia.

Finally!

It seemed to me to help Sylvia, and, as
Yankele said, is a holy duty.

Two tickets, please.

- Just a minute ... - Where are you
going? The movie is about to begin.

Arik ... Arik!

'Sylvia, I'm late for Clara, I'm sorry.'
'Arik,

what about my husband?'

Which husband?

Lying is for work, not for talking to
me.

I know that Yankele sent you to watch
your husband for me.

- I can not talk. 'Arik,

' I must know! 'Sylvia, I can't.' I
can't.

- Forbidden to me. I'm late to Clara.
'You are worse than Yankele.'

Maybe this is how you settle ...

Arik, I ask you,

- bring me some good news. - Well, I'll
try ... I'll try.

Arik, I forgot to tell you,

my son was yesterday, from a kibbutz ...

He took me to a movie on Adar.

I love Indian films that are more of the
midgets, but he ...

well, he loves bang-bang more.

Do you like more love movies or ...

bang-bang movies?

Bang-bang, but ... also ...

Well, who is bigger,

more girls or bang-bang, tell me.

Arik, Arik, go open. Say I'm not at
home, go.

- Why? - I don't know, well, boyfriend
...

I don't know what he wants from me. Go,
well, well, well!

Yes.

Is there Mrs. Clara Epstein?

She is not at home, I will tell her.

Thanks.

- Flowers and a note ... - Read.

- Not personal? - What is personal? I
tell you that I am not familiar with
this person.

He was here once, Yankele brought him to
a courtship lesson,

and since then he has been coming all
the time, bringing flowers, and saying

things that are scary.

Well read it.

'My love, I'm sorry that I allow myself
to use the words' my love. '

This is the first time I feel this way.

- And, forgive me S. Y. Agnon ..." -
Again this Agnon!

"... for distorting his words, but my
heart is full of love,

and I am ready to give my soul for love
..."

I tell you, he is crazy.

All the time, Agnon, and Agnon, and
Agnon ...

I do not understand what he wants from
me.

- Sorry, where is Meir? 'He was gone
today.'

Thanks.

No, he does not exist. This person
simply does not exist anywhere.

- What? 'I have a friend, a tax
inspector.'

- What is it? - No, no, this person does
not exist.

He doesn't report income, you know. And
he has income.

I have a friend in control who checked.
He did not serve in the army.

And not demobilized.

He is outlawed, our matchmaker.

Do you understand? He does everything he
wants

- plays the life of people. - He does
not play the life of people.

Is playing! He brought me this midget,
insolent ...

- He is a criminal! 'He's not a
criminal.' 'He's a criminal, Arik.'

Do not protect him. Clara told me.

Good? She told me he makes her ...

- makes her do different things. - Which
things? - Arik!

Listen to me,

Puppet House - you read it, right?

'I didn't want you to read, but you
did.' - What is the connection?

Listen to me carefully. Beautiful
Germans like these Germans ...

these Nazis, damn them! ..

What do you think they did to her?

I say six million died, right?

Those who survived had to do something

- to stay alive, right? - No, not true!
Not true!

My father came out of there, and he did
nothing.

Either yes or no, you don't know this
...

- He did not do anything. 'You don't
know that.' - I know!

No matter. I just want to say that now
it needs to be freed.

'We need to save Clara.' - From what? -
From the hands of this man!

Why do men come to her apartment every
night?

- Why? For what? 'Not for what you
think?'

- Think ... - I know, I know ...

This is a game of cards, just a game of
cards.

Which cards?

Just cards.

What, for the money?

- A little, not a lot of money. 'How do
you know all this?'

I work there, clean.

- Do you work there? - Yes.

Are you in share?

You are crazy? It's illegal. You are
crazy?

Do you have any idea what you're stuck
in, Arik Burstein?

I left Meir stunned, not knowing what to
do.

Tell Yankele?

What exactly to tell?

What without intent brought him to
serious danger?

I thought it might be better not to do
anything.

Meir is the person who speaks. He is not
one of those who act.

In the end, nothing will happen.

It turns out I did not understand what a
lover is capable of for the sake of
love.

Mr. Arik ...

Tell me, do you know where the grocery
store is?

Aunt Tikva sent me to buy cinnamon.

The store, this is far below, you need
to go down the stairs ...

Is it easy to find?

Listen, Tikva, you are just a sorceress.

How do you manage to cook like that ...

How many people will come for dinner?

Besides us, you, Naji and Sami, brother
Moshe,

Aunt Rachelle and Aunt ... - What is
this? Where is Tamara?

I went to the store to buy cinnamon.

'Three quarters of an hour already.'
'Three quarters of an hour?'

Maybe she got lost?

Will I go look for her?

It would be ... a little faster if we
went through the mountain.

When we were children, we competed in
courage -

we had to return through the mountain in
the dark.

- Who won? - What?

Do you want to have a courage contest?

If you want ...

I will win.

Whose idea was it to climb mountains?

Not mine.

Yes, your.

No.

You know, at first, when I arrived,

I thought you were just a moron ...

Thank you.

It should have sounded like a
compliment, but it didn't work out well
...

I'm sorry.

Aunt Tikva needs cinnamon.

And of course she is worried ...

I thought that if Beni found out about
us, it would terribly offend him,

so without thinking about her, I asked
him not to tell anyone ...

Okay ...

"Okay" is that?

'Good' means I have to go.

You won't tell, right?

Will you tell me what I can and cannot
do?

A big hero who in life will not betray
his friend ?!

You are all hypocrites, just like my
father! Very interesting,

indeed, it will be interesting when he
arrives here.

- Just buzz ... - Tamara!

Tamara, what are you going to do?
Tamara!

I'm going to ruin all of you life!

I did not understand why she was so
angry.

Maybe she thought I didn't love her,

what, in general, wanted only this free
love, the

opponent of which was Jankele?

And maybe ...

Maybe this insult is generally a
pretense,

part of a plan of revenge on her father.

Go know ...

Another problem of that summer is the

fear of expectation ...

But, a day passed, another passed,
nothing happened.

My conscience did not torment me, but
...

I tried not to think too much about it.

- But, he is not attractive. - Who
should be attractive?

Tomorrow I will settle with Paul Newman.

It was a wedding, a honeymoon. The
rottweiler attacked him.

Will you leave him now because he is not
attractive? No, right?

I don't know yet, this is being
verified.

No need to worry, Sylvia. How to know?
For your information,

I'm checking ... Everything will be
fine.

'But I don't like him at all.' - What
does it mean to dislike? This is a man,
not ice cream!

A diamond like you should shine in a
gold frame.

Not tin, not copper, gold!

And this man, believe me, is golden.

You will have a happy life. I feel.

- Bye. - Bye.

Well, what did you discover? Tell me.

Why are you silent?

Are you giving me tricks again, like
your girlfriend? Tell me!

He is not married, that's true, but ...
worse.

He paid the woman.

I paid the woman money ...

This is very good news.

Well done, "Fins"! Managing
responsibilities.

- What are the responsibilities? He paid
her. - This suggests that he is free.

Take Sylvia, stop paying.

This is great - what you saw.

It's not good, of course, to see this at
your age,

but, well, I saw it.

Oh, thank you very much! Many thanks!

Oh thank you! Many thanks!

- Many thanks! - Well done!

Well done, "Fins"!

Let's check, please:

Everything that is here proves that this
person simply does not exist.

My name is Jacob Bride, matchmaker.

You can call me Yankele.

My profession is to find a soul mate

to continue life. Contact me. Do not be
shy, huh?

But I do not have money.

If there is no money, no problem. For me
this is a good deed.

I will contact you after midnight,

after I receive information from there
that he is probably there.

You come in and catch him hot, okay?

And remember, she is not involved.

She is not involved. It is he, he made
her.

Good? She's not at all involved.

I see you are writing ...

If I am not mistaken, I do not pay you
for writing stories.

I pay you to give out cards to your
clientele, right?

Well?

Do not run after her. This is not a bus,
this is a girl.

Wait.

Take a look.

Maybe it will, yes?

What do you write?

Is the story detective or romantic?

I don't know, I ... I write

I don't know, or the story will turn out
at all.

Can I ask you something?

I don't know what you write,

but make a good ending.

People in life have a lot of suffering,
a lot of grief. Everyone wants good.

Make a good ending, huh?

And you?

Do not be angry with the question, but
...

Have you made a good ending for a
religious girl?

You ask, did I tell her parents about
the loafer guy?

Yes.

I didn't tell.

Didn't tell?

Although it is possible that the guy
will try to care for Tamara?

Fins, if there is something that I have
learned in my life,

it's not to do anything against love.

Why are you smiling?

The girl sat down.

Well, then go ahead, get to work!

But, politely. Not a bus, right?

Hello, madam. What a dress ...

A beautiful dress. Is this your husband
bought you?

I'll answer.

Hello?

Yes Meir, how are you?

I'll call him ... Arik! Meir from the
library is calling.

- What? What does he want? - Talk to
you.

Yes.

When?

I, it's a little ...

Good.

OK, I'll come.

Mom, I have to go to Meir to return the
book I've held up.

What, at such a time? The library is now
closed.

Yes, he said that if I bring him a book
home,

he will not take action.

Good.

Dad, can I have a minute? ..

I just need to ask you something.

It...

We were given a job at school about the
Holocaust ...

Who gave you the job? You have not
started your studies yet. Vacation.

This is some new initiative of the
Ministry of Education,

so that we learn more about what was in
the camps.

The work is written using literature.

There is such a book, "Doll House", you
know?

I do not read such books. And I do not
advise you.

This is a sick imagination.

'Are these not real events?' - Fantasy!

As if everyone who survived did
something terrible for this.

They think that everyone who came from
Morocco is a 'Moroccan bandit',

and whoever came from Iran is, of
course, a miser ...

When we arrived here,

they were hardly human. So much is left
of us, so much!

Almost nothing left.

And we so wanted to be Israelis, live a
new life ...

But we didn't give it!

Even if you were in the kibbutz, in the
army, in all wars,

for them you are a capo or a whore,

or someone who is ready to kill for a
piece of bread.

All these people, like Yankele,

living in the Lower Town near the port,
do you know why they live there?

- Because of work, no? 'No, out of
fear!'

All their life they are afraid that this
will come again.

Therefore, you need to live near the
ships.

If trouble comes again, you can escape.

And Yankele ... Nobody knows anything
about him, right?

What does he do, where does he live? Who
is he?

- Why? Out of fear! - What fear?

- Goalie of Haifa 'A-Poel' ... - Binish,
he is just ...

- afraid of death, misfortune. - loses
the ball all the time. - Each of his
ball ...

- Fear. 'Aren't you going to Meir?'

What were you talking about?

About nothing.

Nothing about?

About nothing.

I will bring the police and the tax
inspectorate to him,

but this can only be done if he is
there,

if he is caught hot.

To do this, you need to make sure,
understand?

'Only you can.' - Meir, I spoke with my
father about what happened ...

- Enough about my father. - But you said
... - Arik, really ...

You have the opportunity to help
yourself and avoid trouble.

- Help with what? I do not understand. -
At night you go up to the apartment,

make sure that he is there,

call me at the phone booth: one call and
put down the phone.

This number.

- Why are you getting me involved? 'I'm
not getting you involved, you're already
getting involved.'

I help you get out.

- Thanks. - Thank you very much, good
night. Only quiet, good,

good night.

Mrs. Clara, where are the 100 tokens?

There. Look nearby. It is there.

Arik!

Scared me ...

What are you doing here at such a time?

I'm looking for Yankele, urgently.

- Are you okay? - Yes. - Look at me. Is
everything all right at home?

Yes, I need Yankele, now. I ...

Call already ...

Well, where are you? Fast! Salah ha Din
70!

Go, go, go! Fast! Fast! Fast!

She is not involved. Only he, only he!

Quiet.

Take pictures of them with cards and
money in your hands.

Police! Search warrant!

Why are you shooting? Indeed?

- Why a search? After all, this is only
a domino club ... - What is it?

What is this domino?

Domino ?!

Please come in.

What, is something wrong? What a
pleasant surprise.

Please come in. Maybe eat something?

Would you like something to drink?

Oh, your name is Meir, right?

Come in please. There wasn't enough a
domino player at table number 6.

I was pleased and proud of myself.

I thought that I successfully got rid of
all these troubles with Meir.

Now, just settle the misunderstanding
with Tamara.

What did she mean when she said she was
going to break our lives?

What a summer!

I knew that her father was coming today
to pick her up.

Hello! Hello!

- How are you? - What is heard, Moshe? -
Nice to see you. - What is heard?

Germany is a bit cold.

Go say hello to your father, Tamara.

And I wanted to fight in a war.

I ordered a ticket, they say to me:
"Wait a day or two, there will be an
answer."

After that they called, they said:
"Ended up." Six days? Shorten.

Here, Tamara, Tamara ... dressed. Look
how good!

Can you imagine how much this dress
costs in dollars?

- You know? - With a new thing, Tamara.

'You should try the pickles made by
Tikva.' - Where is Arik?

Arik

are you here?

Are you in your room?

Are you not coming down because of me?

What do you want?

What do you want me to do?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Cute.

Am I scaring you like that?

- Stop it. 'Now you tell me to stop.'

Is it too late?

Late what?

- Not ... - It doesn't matter.

'I'm sorry to interrupt.' 'You didn't
interfere.'

But, mom wants to start.

- There is a problem? - Everything is
fine.

Right, Arik?

All is well.

You can go now.

Okay, let's go raise our glasses.

Children can also have some wine, even
Michal, is not scary.

Let's drink for life!

For the health of Uncle Naji and Tamara,

who are leaving tomorrow!

We will really, really miss you ...

Minute, minute, Moshe, Moshe, before the
toast ...

I, with your permission,

want to thank you, Moshe, Tikva,

Beni and you, Michal,

for being so warm took Tamara this
summer.

Thanks to you, Tamara has become even
more charming ...

- Charming? Me, I also want to say
something. - What?

I ...

want to say something that ...

that may surprise you.

I want to say ...

thank you

for accepting me so warmly.

'I know that at first I was a little
irritable.' - Not at all!

We love you, we all love you!

Thank you Beni for giving me your room
and ...

and the whole family!

- What a family! For the health of the
family! - And the neighbors!

What neighbors!

- And friends! - And friends!

Here are friends who are not in America!

In America, where you earn a lot of
money, you

don't have friends like here who you can
rely on

- like in the war that grew up with you.
- And they loved.

And they loved. Of course, love is the
most important thing!

- For a life! - For a life!

Everything seems to have ended well,
right?

The end is pretty good,

as Jankele requested.

I don't know why Tamara didn't tell ...

Maybe she didn't have any plan at all,
just my imagination ...

This is what I learned from Yankele:

everything in love is unexpected.

It seems that summer has gone quietly,
right?

But, not really ...

Police! Police!

- Police! - Police! - Run, run soon ...

Search warrant!

- Check there in the closet. - There's
nothing here. Warehouse is empty.

The police and the tax office delved
wherever possible.

Yankele, a smart man, was ready for
this.

But, a real disaster,

was that since then he has been under
their control.

They knew what he was doing, where he
lived, they knew everything about him.

Go know that this will affect him so.

How it scared him!

A week later, an article appeared about
him, on the whole page, more lying

than all the lies that have been heard
from me in my whole life!

Some journalist took a lesson from Clara
courtship

and made of it something ugly and
disgusting.

On the street, everyone pointed to Klara
and said that she ... is

so ... and Yankele is so ...

Resentment broke her.

She wanted to break off all relations
with Yankele.

He tried to explain to her that he had
no life without her, but ...

Nothing helped.

She asked him to go far,

if possible, to disappear completely ...

so that they would never meet again,

even on the street, by accident.

And he was ready for anything for her,

even if it broke him from the inside.

And then he just disappeared

without telling anyone where.

As if he was not there.

The whole year I was looking for him,

and missed him, and thought that maybe
he was angry with me.

I did everything I could to find him,
but ...

I was not a real detective.

In fact, I could not find someone who
does not want to be found.

I have so much left from Yankele,

even this habit of looking at funeral
announcements every day,

despite the fact that I have never met
anyone I knew there.

Before I saw her name ...

What? What is he doing at the grave?

Who would have thought that this man
suddenly, so accidentally,

entered my life?

He took me to work because he thought I
was an excellent liar.

How could I explain to him how dear he
is to me

that I learned a lot from him?

I wanted him to read what I wrote in a
notebook so that he knew

that for me he is a hero, a real hero.

And that I loved him.

Like him, I really loved him.

I took him to the bus station,

but he didn't want me to see which bus
he was taking.

He didn't want me to know where he
lives.

He said that he reads my notebook and
returns.

I did not know that ...

I would never see him again.

Arik, Arik?

Arik.

Arik ...

What, are you still here?

Tell me

what happened?

Nothing ... a little dizzy.

- Where are you going? - To the writer,
can. Michal called.

I told her that you checked out an hour
ago. She ... will worry,

- Come on, I'll take you. - No, I'm
fine.

Go to your family

say that you have become rich.

Jankele Bride ... Goodbye.

Bye.

This is a story

about Yankel Bride ...

What a character!

Goodbye Father!
