Full Description
THE WOODEN GUN evokes the harsh landscape and tense atmosphere of Israel in its first years of independence. We witness the hopes, fears, frustrations, and above all, the complex relationships between the generation that came there from Europe and the native-born Israelis. The usual pains of growing up are amplified here by the tremendous gap that exists between a generation carrying the ancient burden of centuries of suffering climaxed by the Holocaust and a generation born into freedom.
