520    Partly a documentary, partly a fictional film that portrays a month in the life of filmmaker Avi Mograbi and his wife. The film documents the month of August 2000 - a tense and seething period just before the Al Aqsa intifada. It takes the viewer from a group of Jewish settlers marching through the streets of Tel Aviv dressed as Arabs to a peace demonstration in front of the Ministry of Defense. From a young Palestinian refugee throwing stones across the Israeli-Lebanese border to a crowd of angry soccer fans. Through the lens of Avi Mograbi's camera, the month of August becomes an apt metaphor for all that is brutal and hateful in Israel. The filmmaker always sees himself in between: «My film is a report of what I have seen and the interpretation that I give. (…) If we absolutely want to find a message in it, it would be something along the following lines: «Israel these days is not the best place to live.» But people do not need my film to ascertain this. I just want to say that it behoves the two peoples residing in Palestine/Israel to find a way to live together.» Avi Mograbi
