What happens
The Galilee Eskimos (Hebrew: אסקימוסים בגליל) is a 2006 comedy-drama film directed, produced and co-written by Jonathan Paz, based on a screenplay by Yehoshua Sobol. The plot revolves around the demise of an old and isolated kibbutz in Galilee, which falls into heavy debt, is declared bankrupt, and abandoned overnight by its members. Twelve elderly kibbutz members are left behind to fend for themselves in the kibbutz's retirement home, akin to elderly Eskimos being abandoned to die. The film was shot at Kibbutz Yehiam and premiered at the Haifa International Film Festival in September 2006. It participated in the Toronto International Film Festival and the Montreal World Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
