TCJFF Screening: Bliss
With Israeli Academy Award-nominated lead performances, this tender observational drama explores the fragile equilibrium of an older couple’s relationship as they navigate love, aging, and family obligations. Celebrated Israeli actors Sasson Gabai and Asi Levy costar as Sassi and Effi who, despite a large age gap and daily struggles—Sassi’s impotence and his son’s debts—maintain emotional balance rooted in humor and devotion. Their lives are shaken when two young men—a grandson returning from Europe and a former student of Effi’s—reopen old wounds and create new tensions. As Zarhin reveals more about the couple and the people disrupting their bliss, motivations and contradictions form a complex narrative where the idea of bliss itself becomes a prism, reflecting each character in a whole range of colors.
