How can love survive when you’re surrounded by conflict?

An Israeli Love Story is multi-award winning veteran director Dan Wolman’s latest film. With sensitivity and simplicity he weaves the love story between the two young idealists into the pivotal moments that gave birth to the state of Israel.

This is a passionate story of love and independence, Eli and Margalit are torn between their love for one another and where they see their own futures in the Jewish state.
