Difficult to watch at times but realistic. I disliked the mother, the daughter (Ilan's sister) most through the film as they are prone to histrionics and screeching/doing irrational things. However, I realized that women do this and perhaps it has to do with body chemistry, I dunno? It's a parable about how when you are young and feel invincible, your hormones can get you into a lot of trouble. That he was attracted to so obvious a Muslim looking girl was his downfall. Stay away from Middle Eastern and Black women and you might be OK. It also is a truth about human beings that has rung through the ages: Human beings are basically no damn good! Wars, drugs, prostitution, poverty, greed, haves/have nots, overpopulation, alien cultures with Nazi values. Better to get a rocking chair and some pets.

I didn't realize that there were so many anti-Jewish people on IMDb who could not get passed the fact that the victim was Jewish. I would feel badly toward any type of victim out there, Arab, Jewish, Black, Asian, or even White.I agree with the person who wrote that people were judging the film on its merit without even watching it. I thought that it was very well acted. It managed to be suspenseful even to people who knew the outcome of the events, which is a difficult feat.If you have a chance see this film which will give you a slice of history.

This film is the story of a young innocent Jew who was kidnapped by a gang of 25 people because they believed that all Jews are rich.He was tortured for 24 days. The neighborhood did not say anything.The police were unable to find at time this poor young man. We have a duty to remember this story so that she does not happen again. The actors are in the film are wonderful and it will be difficult not to shed a tear. Caution: Do not Listen false criticisms of people who have not even seen the movie and says bad things about this film only because it speaks of a Jew.

This movie is about a real drama happened in France few years ago to Jewish mother she lost his son murdered by Muslim gang chief.but the film it self is poor achievement and bad acting.A film what would be a conviction for any religious crime transformed on communitarian propaganda film. In the same time we never heard about a Muslim who was murdered by Jewish gang after the first drama and the killers are still free. However the Jewish mother she lost his son, has refused to check hand and talk with the Muslim mother she lost his husband, as if his surfing is more intense and hard Than the other mother,
