Touching, tragic and based on a true story, this film was not quite what I was expecting. As it begins, Yossi and Jagger are already in the middle of a full-blown relationship, so there is little insight into how their relationship sparked and developed. There is also little character development, but this would have been difficult given the film’s very short playing time. Worth a watch, but something was missing.

A brief, instense, and beautiful film from Israel about two soldiers who fall in love on a military base near Lebanon: spirited Lior (called "Jagger" by his fellow soldiers for his rock-star looks), and the company's brooding, overburdened commander Yossi, who only lets his guard down when alone with Jagger.
