About Family Secrets
Based on Yehudit Katzir's novel Schalffstunde, the film presents the unusual love story between a 15 year old girl and her 15 year old cousin who lives in the United States. The two met every summer in Tel Aviv and secretly discovered the pain of love, sexual attraction and the unavoidable power of forbidden desire. When their uncle intervenes and dies mysteriously, they remain separated until years later when they meet again and finally discover the truth about their past.
Directed by Nitza Gonen, Family Secrets leans on a strong ensemble — Romi Aboulafia, Michael Hanegbi, Eli Cohen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1998.
