I saw this movie on tv 2yrs ago on a sleepless night.while "surfing".. I found it fascinating. Again on a night I did not want to read I flicked and found this movie again. I didn't remember the title but once it began I recalled it. "Going to bed I thought" but it "hooked" me. I'm a Christian but I found the message of this movie ecumenical. Dealing with anger, needing to belong/be accepted, wanting the best of yourself etc etc.The universal human condition. I know that a lemon is a lemon but we love symbols - how else to express ourselves in our searching/reaching out. I sat in the bushes and related to Moshe.

As he anguished in his struggle. I'm an Aussie - couldn't be further away (distance and culture)- and I believe that you have "a desert rose" that blooms every?? An encouraging movie. Thanks - eat your tomatoes! Elaine.
