Forgiveness

Forgiveness
A Film by: Guy Amir, Hanan Savyon
(Israel, 2019, 104 min, Hebrew, English subtitles, Cast: Guy Amir, Hanan Savyon, Shiri Maimon, Tsahi Halevi, Noa Koler, Alon Aboutboul).

Set in the south of Israel near the Gaza border, in a place where the beleaguered citizens live with incoming rocket fire, longtime pals Shaul (Amir) and Nissan (Savyon) attempt to rob a postal bank. But the mismanaged job results in Shaul being collared and sent to prison. Years later, upon his release, Shaul is less than pleased to be greeted by the newly religious Nissan seeking his forgiveness. Even though Shaul has served his sentence, his skill set hasn’t expanded in any way that will enable him to support his family, so he needs Nissan to remember where he buried their loot.
