Movie description:
Twelve-year-old Eli’s world is turned upside down when his father Ben, the city architect of suburban Herzliya, is charged with taking bribes. Ben is taken into custody before his son’s eyes, and the news makes its way to the school playground. Eli is convinced his father is innocent, and struggles to see his father released. Eli faces injustice, corruption and pretense among both adults and children. He has to shape and stick to his own principles. In the process, he rediscovers his father and tastes the bitter sting of first love.
An Israeli boy wrestles with real life ethical dilemmas and his love for his father in ELI & BEN, a bittersweet coming-of-age drama that will win the hearts of teen and adult audiences alike. Mischievous 12-year-old Eli has his sheltered world turned upside down after his father, a city architect in the upscale Herzliya community, is charged with taking bribes. News of the scandal makes its way to the school playground and national newspapers. Into this void of disillusionment steps police inspector Amos, who presents sympathy but uncertain motives. Forced to question everything he believes in, Eli sets out to restore the reputation of his father while navigating questions of trust and friendship. Featuring outstanding performances and the debut of writer/director Ori Ravid, ELI & BEN presents a distinctive vantage point on moral ambiguity and corruption in Israeli society.
