From Netflix:
Both a political-psychological drama and a love story between a passionate woman and two best friends, this profound film addresses the tense relationship between the orthodox nationalists and the military on Israel’s West Bank.
By perusing the streamable offerings from Netflix, sometimes you can find a film you might otherwise have missed. “Time of Favor” is such a film. English subtitles are available for this Israeli film which offers some insight into the Israeli culture, especially the military and orthodox cultures. Menachem, his sad friend Pini, and Michal the girl that Pini loves are an attractive and well-played trio. Without taking sides, you can appreciate more the problems with life in Israel.
Noteworthy for me, if I understand correctly, is the honorable and chaste approach to courtship. Michal’s rabbi father wants to arrange a marriage between Michal and Pini. But Michal is not attracted to Pini and instead is interested in Menachem. Menachem does not want to hurt his rejected and angry friend Pini. In one scene Menachem and Michal find a secluded spot in which to talk. Instead of touching, they project hand shadows on the wall that do the touching.
You must take the culture as it is presented in order to enjoy this film. Wikipedia offers some more details.
