Walk On Water (2005)
Unusual story about old grudges which die hard in the hearts of Israelis. The film shows their secret service going after octogenarian Nazi war criminals, and the general population’s tough attitude with Arabs (appears understandable against a backdrop of appalling daily suicide bombing attacks). There’s a small gay side plot which I thought might turn into a big gay main story when the protogonist is revealed as gay — but that didn’t happen. The Israeli secret service agent’s tough exterior gets broken down by the end, and he sort of gets in touch with his feminine side. The screenwriter probably thought (rightly) making him gay would narrow the audience. As it is, it becomes a mildly entertaining, but not completely convincing story.
