"Broken Wings"
Director: Nir Bergman
Nir Bergman's first full-length feature film is an exciting realistic drama centered on five wounded souls trying to mend the hole left by the father's death. The search of each of the protagonists after their connections with each other and after new paths is detailed through the small dramatic and almost daily struggles that the characters work within; the end of the summer vacation and return to school, kindergarten and high school. Each family member goes off to a day of excitement, and following them we discover the stories that are woven together, gradually accumulate to create an optimistic work about the power of the family and the its power to heal one's heart's pains.

"A Group Portrait with a Woman"
Director: Yitzhak Rubin
A woman returns to Israel many years after being forced by tragic circumstances to put her only daughter—fathered by a Muslim Bedouin man—up for adoption, to search for her lost child. She soon finds herself along with her director friend in an unusual cinematic creation of her life, a voyage that covers three decades and a number of countries and encompasses oblivion, survival and loss. Her loves, her escapes, and the men in her life all serve as an echo to that one fateful act. In an unusual manner, the heroine finds herself facing a re-examination of her life, as if in a Greek chorus.

"Vulcan Junction"
Director: Eran Riklis
The story tells of nine days in the lives of a group of youngsters from the Krayot area, north of Haifa. At the center of the narrative—that takes place in the days before Yom Kippur War—is a rock band by the name of Genetic Code. The band members are guitarist and vocalist Micha Shelly, keyboardist Danny, bassist Igal and drummer Eli. They are trying to get a contract to record the first album and dream of Tel Aviv. Only that Shelly gets a secret offer to start a solo career; if he accepts it, he will be relinquishing his membership in the band, and the shared dream. Other characters are Dahlia, a charismatic girl who wants to be a journalist and aspires to write for HaOlam HaZe. There is a romantic tension between Dahlia and Micha throughout the film, and in addition, she is involved with Elbaz, a brilliant footballer and friend of Shelly's, who is sought after eagerly by AJAX, but in the meantime suffers from disciplinary problems. Through the microcosm of a group of ambitious youngsters, the film examines the bubble of innocence Israel was in at the period prior October '73, a bubble that burst with the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War.
