Hot

A rumor spreads through a small desert town that a girl has been raped. A respected veteran tries to stop the girl's cousin, a soldier in vacation, from taking the law into his own hands.

Directed by Yotam Guendelman, Hot leans on a strong ensemble — Albert Iluz, Gal Friedman, Yaakov Zada Daniel — 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 drama titles of 2015.
