Movie Haiku:Searing Israeli drama written/directed by & also starring Ronit Elkabetz (collaborating with her brother). "Viviane" is trapped in a loveless marriage to Eliahou (Abkarian) that is tearing them apart & beginning to damage their children. She is frayed but still trying to juggle, but he is becoming increasingly withdrawn. Rich wanted more context; Jan says it is all onscreen.
