I have shortlisted 3 films out of the hundreds that are showing in this year's Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). Yesterday, I caught the very first one, 'A Hebrew Lesson'.
The entire film was portrayed like a documentary. Its a film about Israel through a foreigner eyes. The main setting was based in a classroom where a group of people from all over the world who went to Israel for whatever reason to learn Hebrew (the language spoken in Israel) and the culture of Israel.

Most of the film focuses mainly on 2 Chinese woman who married Israel men, a Russian man who was fighting to gain custody of her daughter who was taken away from him by his ex, a German woman who is attached to a Israeli boyfriend and a lady from Peru who got pregnant and got dump by her Israeli boyfriend because of that.

The film brings out the other side of Israel through the feelings and insights of a foreigner. How they struggle to cope with the language barrier? And how they cope with their new life in a foreign land. There were scenes that will really touch your heart and bring tears welling up your eyes.

Its a really good film and i personally feel that it is amazing and yet to a certain extend sad that we are all human beings living physically close to one another but yet there is this huge barrier of culture, language, perspective and mentality between each and everyone of us that we sometimes feel lonely inside us.
