About film
One might wonder: is there anything the hero of this film, who is always in the public eye, surprise us with any longer? Authors of the film try to solve the mystery of the most controversial politician of modern Israel. There are no endless interviews with «experts», psychoanalysts or political commentators in this film, nor is there any footage of the hero at home in a family circle. The director has wisely removed himself from the picture in order to give voice to his subject. And did the latter speak! Through the years many things have changed - the person, the world, Israel - but one thing remained unaltered: the magic of the words of Benjamin Netanyahu, whom nature gifted with an advantage of a slightly hoarse baritone, the dream of every politician.
