I pity the poor people who had to work hard filming, editing and putting this garbage together.

This is a truly awful piece of cinema. Everything about it is absolute embarrassment; we mustn't somehow lower our plot-writing and filming standards just because this is a 1979 film. There were already amazing films being made throughout the world at the time. It is at the same time a natural product of a then up-and coming Israel's cinema industry, and every sovereign state with a film industry has had a film like this. The acting, the illogical plot twists, the dialogue and the filming itself, are all at sub-par levels. Oh, and don't forget the text appearing at the end of the film announcing to us what went on in the lives of the main characters following this exhilarating story of the three of them living under one roof -- the text's translation is grossly inaccurate and is shamelessly misspelled! In short, as a big fan as I am of 'education through cinema', this isn't a film I'd ever show to my kids. If anything, I'd very much stand in the way of them seeing it.

This at first may seem to be an innocuous story of a young man's adaption process to a new environment, though if you stfu for a minute and view between the lines, you will find a much richer plot, that oddly, hints at an entirely unmentioned subplot (is there a name for that in the screen writing business?). Did anyone else notice her last names differ in college and in the treatment facility? The one negative thing to say of this movie is that it tastelessly bunches up every 50s stereotype known. Were the 50s even as full of these stereotypes as movies portraying its era make it out to be? Of course we as youngsters will never know. Nonetheless, if you sit quietly, you'll enjoy the dialogue and the hidden moments of this film.
