What happens

Diary (Hebrew: יומן, tr. Yoman) is a 1983 Israeli experimental independent documentary art film directed by David Perlov, notable for being, together with its three follow-ups, פגישות עם 1990-1999, יומן מעודכן, נתן זך and 1952-2002 תצלומי, the last based on his photography of fifty years, and one of the longest films ever made. It was released on DVD by Re:Voir Vidéo in 2006, and is considered by some to be the greatest and most important Israeli film ever made in its home country. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
