Sad and moving - a terrific movie from Israel

I really liked this movie. Dana Ivgy (Or) and Ronit Elkabetz (Ruthie) are very good and both likeable and pitiful as the classic role-reversal mother and daughter. As the movie ends you realize that the course had been set early on. Based on the preceding events it's like predestination and what happens was just a matter of time.

Captain Algren: I will tell you...how he lived.
