What happens
Boy Meets Girl (Hebrew: בן לוקח בת Ben Loke'ah Bat) is a 1982 Israeli drama directed by Michal Bat-Adam. It was filmed on location at Kibbutz Ma'ayan Tzvi. The film is named after a dance game of the same name. The film explores the conflicts between the contrasting cultures of that time in Israeli society, where kibbutzim still held a key canonical role. It examines the relationship between the urban outsider and the kibbutz native, highlighting the differences and tensions between them. The plot is a semi-autobiographical account of Bat-Adam’s own upbringing at a kibbutz boarding school. Her 1994 film, Aya: Imagined Autobiography (Hebrew: איה), revisits the character of Aya, who is now a married woman haunted by her past. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
