In a small residental area in Israel live Chaya, a cardiac,
lonely girl and Gal, who carries ot the post during the summer holidays.
Due to that he sees Chaya very often, because she writes to many Israelean soldiers, who are currently at war and have to fight.
The two of them become frieds, and Gal even falls in love with her.
But she is in love with the soldier Moshe, whom she is exchanging letters with...
When I saw the movie, I had the feeling that something was missing,
just something to give the whole story some mor drive, to make it clearer and more exciting.
You can't really guess, how important those letters are for Chaya, if she really needs Moshes photograph to be able to survive. What the relation between her and Gal really is like and why she dies in the end.
The actors couldn't really convince me. That Chaya is suffering from such a bad disease wasn't visible at all.
Neither, that Gal was in love with her. But the supporting actors were very good.
I would have liked it, if parts of the story would have been told from the soldier Moshes point of view for a change
Just to learn why he is keeping this pen pal contact and writing helps him to get along with his life in the front line.
But for a change it was good that hardly anything of the war was shown.
