Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
A rare 1980 French-Israeli co-production, reflecting the era's cinematic fascination with bourgeois moral rot.
Director Uzi Peres never made another feature; this single film remains his entire cinematic legacy, which somehow fits its themes of one-shot gambles.
