Metallic Blues

Shmuel and Siso sell used cars in Israel. Business is not going well. One day a 1985 Lincoln comes their way. They buy the car for five thousand dollars. They plan to sell it to a collector in Germany. They hope to come back with a profit. They ship the car to Europe. Things go wrong as soon as they land in Germany. They learn the car is worth less than they thought. Shmuel’s wallet is stolen. The car is vandalised as well. Shmuel’s parents survived the Holocaust. What he sees in Germany brings back what they told him. Siso kept his distance from the trip from the start. He is a Moroccan Jew with obligations to his family. The film tells a road story together with the past. Moshe Ivgy and Avi Kushnir appear in the ninety minute film, a Canadian, German and Israeli production Dan Verete finished in 2004.
