Nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Orna Banai) and Best Supporting Actor (Avraham Aviv Alush) at the Awards of the Israeli Film Academy.. "Subtly handled by director Emil Ben-Shimon and screenwriter Shlomit Nehama and rendered heartfelt and compelling by an outstanding cast." - Peter Keough, Boston Globe.
