Magic Men

An elderly Israeli Jew of Greek origins was sent to Greece to represent his town in a town twinning ceremony, however he went instead to search for his friend from the childhood, who saved him from the Holocaust. In meantime he formed a special relationship with young Greek woman, and dealt with the broken relationship with his devout Hasidic son.

Directed by Guy Nattiv, Erez Tadmor, Magic Men leans on a strong ensemble — Makram J. Khoury, Zohar Shtrauss, Ariane Labed — 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 comedy titles of 2014.
