What is FIH: Zrubavel about?

ZRUBAVEL is Israel’s first all Ethiopian feature film. Gite Zrubavel and his wife immigrated to Israel with their three children, Hana, Almaz and Gili. Hana’s husband has become religious without her support. Almaz marries a distant relative against her parents’ wishes. Gili vacillates between a life of crime and a dream of becoming an Israeli hero. Gite’s grandson, Itzhak, known as “Spike Lee” aspires to a film directing career. The story unfolds through his video camera lens as he films everything in his neighborhood, from the mundane to the criminal. A chain of events undermines Gite’s control over his family. The struggle is between Gite’s cherished Ethiopian customs and the younger generation’s desire to assimilate within Israeli culture. ZRUBAVEL is Shmuel Beru’s screenwriting and directorial debut. In 1984, at the age of eight, Beru walked across the Sudanese desert to immigrate to Israel as part of the United Jewish Appeal sponsored Operation Moses.
