Description:

A Film by Nir Bergman, based on the novel "The Book of Intimate Grammar by David Grossman. Israel, 2010, 90 Minute Running Time 

In Israel in the early 1960s, a new generation is growing up: the militant Israeli that will not go through another Holocaust. Aharon, a 13-year old with a highly developed inner world, does not quite fit the mold. His soul seeks refinement, art – everything he is unable to find at home. As an expression of protest he doesn’t grow an inch in three years and embarks on a dangerous journey: to cross the boundary dividing childhood and adolescence.
