Boy Meets Girl (1982 film)
Boy Meets Girl (Hebrew: בן לוקח בת Ben Loke'ah Bat) is a 1982 Israeli drama directed by Michal Bat-Adam. It was filmed on location at Kibbutz Ma'ayan Tzvi. The film is named after a dance game of the same name. The film explores the conflicts between the contrasting cultures of that time in Israeli society, where kibbutzim still held a key canonical role. It examines the relationship between the urban outsider and the kibbutz native, highlighting the differences and tensions between them. The plot is a semi-autobiographical account of Bat-Adams' own upbringing at a kibbutz boarding school.[1] Her 1994 film, Aya: Imagined Autobiography (Hebrew: איה), revisits the character of Aya, who is now a married woman haunted by her past. PlotAya (Einat Helfman) is a shy 10-year-old girl who has grown up in Tel Aviv. When her parents, who are both doctors, travel to Thailand as part of their work, Aya is placed in a boarding school on a kibbutz. As an outsider, she has difficulty adjusting to the insularity and unfamiliar values and practices of kibbutz society. She struggles to cope with the challenges of living with dozens of her peers in a communal children's dormitory where there is no separation according to gender. Cast
