HÀ NỘI — The Embassy of Israel in Việt Nam will present the Israel Film Festival 2018, from June 1-4 with various films touching on a number of topics from daily life to monumental dramas, and from documentaries to kid’s films.
“Through the films, Vietnamese audiences will have a chance to contemplate the beautiful landscapes of Israel, as well as learn more about the culture, traditions and identities of the Israeli people,” said Ambassador Nadav Eshcar.
Opening on June 1, Wedding Doll tells the story of Hagit, a young woman with a mild mental deficiency who works in a toilet-paper factory.
