סימני שיניים

In the 1960s, on Mount Carmel, Aron Eichenblatt is written off by everyone. His father Yosef teaches and his mother Riva, once a partisan, runs a kindergarten; Aron is neither a good student nor the leader of his gang, a part that falls to his close friend. While the Eichmann trial unfolds and Aron loses his father, in the lull between the Sinai campaign and the Six-Day War, the boys smoke in secret, throw record parties, discover desire and fall in love, waiting for life to start. Then the threat of being thrown out of their strict, elite school pushes them, days before the Memorial Day ceremony, into a reckless act.
