Birkonim

A bittersweet film about love and Israeli songs

Birkonim are the little booklets containing Grace After Meals which are given out at Jewish Wedding Celebrations. They usually bear an individual design or logo chosen by the Bride and Groom, the date of the wedding and the names of the newlyweds.

Tzippi, a young architect, is still waiting for her young husband, from whom she has been separated, to return to her. When he calls her up and asks for a meeting she is sure that he is finally coming back to her.

A bittersweet film about love, wedding booklets and Israeli music from another age.
