The House On Chelouche Street




The film tells the story of a family of Egypt ian immigrants that settle in 1947 Tel Aviv . The family consists of a Widow ed wife (played by Gila Almagor , probably the most prominent Actress in Israel for the last three decades) and her four children. The plot centers on the firstborn, Sammy, his transition from a shy 15 year old to a working man and an Activist in the " Haganah " (a Resistance movement that acted mainly against the Military forces of the British ), and the romantic attachment he develops with a 25 year old Russia n immigrant Librarian ( Michal Bat Adam , now a director).
The movie is a vivid and very credible description of Egyptian- Jewish families on the eve of the declaration of the state of Israel.
