Under The Domim Tree

The account is set in the early nineteen fifties. A group of teenagers live in a boarding school. All of them survived the Holocaust. They came here after the war. By day they are no different from other adolescents. They go to lessons and squabble with each other. At night things change. Their memories come back. They have trouble getting to sleep. There is one place where they feel safe. They gather under the Domim tree. There they can talk to one another. The film was adapted from a book. The book tells the life of Gila Almagor herself. Almagor also acts in the film. Gila Almagor and Kaipu Cohen appear in the one hundred two minute film, an Israeli production Eli Cohen finished in 1994.
