רובה חוליות / Roveh Huliot / The Wooden Gun. 1979.

 The Wooden Gun takes place in Tel Aviv in the early 1950s. In a clear-eyed fashion that would have been impossible in a film made by "outsiders", the plot details the conflict between native-born Israelis and the newly arrived European refugees. The various fears and prejudices of the adults are passed along to their children, upon whom director Hans Moshenson concentrates. Largely comprised of non professionals, the teen-aged protagonists and antagonists are remarkable in their sincerity and conviction. Filmed in Hebrew, The Wooden Gun is available in an English-subtitled version.
Director: Ilan Moshenson.
Cast: Nadav Brenner, Nissim Eliaz, Michael Kafir, Arik Rosen, Louis Rosenberg, Ophelia Shtruhl, Judith Solé, Leon Young.
