Just perfect...
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Yariv Mozer was willing to go against Israeli law in interviewing his subjects; on the other hand, his contracts with them required that they be in a safe situation in order for their faces to be shown. To get an idea of just how dangerous it is go be gay in the West Bank, the interviewees were unwilling to give the names of men they had been involved with, even one who was dead! We are permitted to see how NGO's are able to achieve the impossible in getting around inter/national laws and customs in finding safe havens for these men, but also to see how much it costs the men to make the transition.
