Live and Become
A winner of three awards at last year's Berlin Film Festival, Radu Mihaileanu's loosely autobiographical Live and Become takes a rare view of the Israeli experience. The film opens in the mid-1980s, when Operation Moses was working to transfer persecuted Ethiopian Jews to safer environments. A widowed Christian mother sees a chance for a better life for her son and hands him over to a Jewish friend. The boy, re-named Schlomo, is forced to adopt a personality and ethnicity he knows nothing about. As he grows older, Schlomo feels alienated as he is increasingly torn between the old existence he barely knew and the new one he cannot fully embrace. After living a lie throughout his teenage years, he sets out to find his birth mother on a quest that will show him who he is in more ways than one.
