Screening Of An Israeli Movie - Mr. Baum: Events in Hyderabad

PREVIEW FOR SCREENING OF AN ISRAELI...

A macabre comedy, this is the third and final episode of Assi Dayan's trilogy
that began with Life According to Agfa and Electric Blanket Syndrome.
Micki Baum, a 47-year old sunglasses importer and the father of two, has just
found out that he only has 92 minutes left to live. Baum sets off on an excruciatingly
funny odyssey of bureaucratic pettiness that's interwoven with a picture of the
boredom and the banality of his life, as he prepares his departure from his life,
his friends and family.
