Introduction
1963 in Israel at a moment of peace. This is the story of Aaron, a boy who has stopped growing up a few years before. Is it to rebel against his loveless family or the times? This film depicts the adolescent mind allegorically and comically.
Synopsis
In Israel in early 1960s, a new generation is growing up: the militant Israeli, generation that will not go through another Holocaust. But Hinda's sensitive son, Aharon doesn't fit the mold. His soul seeks refinement, art – which he can't find at home. How could he? For his father, a Holocaust survivor, human existence is reduced to war and survival. Aharon refuses to become like his parents. During three years he does not grow an inch, until he realizes he is partly responsible for this, and so he embarks on a dangerous inner journey: to cross the boundary dividing childhood and adolescence.
