What happens
Operation Grandma (Hebrew: מבצע סבתא, Mivtza Savta) is a short 1999 Israeli satirical comedy about the military and kibbutz life directed by Dror Shaul. It was filmed on Kibbutz Yakum and based on the funeral of Esther Shaul (sister of Yisrael Galili). Esther was Dror's grandmother who was buried in Kibbutz Kissufim where Shaul was born and raised. The film won the Ophir Award for Best Television Drama. Over the years, it gained significant popularity in Israel and achieved cult film status. The line "You start at your fastest and gradually increase the speed" from the film became famous and is often used humorously in Israel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
