What happens

Blush (Hebrew: ברש - "Barash") is a 2015 Israeli drama film about teenage lesbian girls. It was written and directed by Michal Vinik, starring Sivan Noam Shimon, Jade Sakori and Dvir Benedek. The original title was Barash. According to film researcher Raz Yosef, the film is part of the discourse of LGBT rights in contemporary Israeli cinema. In contrast to films such as Yossi and Jagger, The Bubble, and The Secrets, the film offers "new ways of being in the world, life and relationships based on queer temporality that are not necessarily founded on past lessons or future expectations, but rather derive from the desire for the 'here and now.'” Film critic Uri Klein finds that the film serves not only as a portrait of a single Israeli girl in distress but also places this portrait within the broader context of a disintegrating Israeli family.
