Date: 1994 System Requirements: NTSC, Region 1 Language: Hebrew Creator: Directed by Eli Cohen Description: A powerful coming-of-age story, Under the Dumim Tree, based on the autobiographical memoir by Gila Almagor (The Summer of Aviya), tells the poignant and sometimes harrowing story about a group of teenagers living in a youth village for orphans who survived the Nazi concentration camps and other troubled Israeli youths in the 1950’s. During the day, the students seem like any other normal teens, but when night falls, painful memories of the horrors of the Holocaust resurge. When life becomes unbearable, the teens find refuge under the beautiful Domim Tree - the only place where they feel at peace. Eli Cohen (The Quarrel, The Summer of Aviya) masterfully directs an outstanding ensemble cast in this inspirational account of hope, dreams and memories of a unique group of young people.
