Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

In Israel in the early 1960s, a new generation is growing up: the militant Israeli, the generation that will not go through another Holocaust. But Hindas son, Aharon, a sensitive eleven year old boy with a highly developed inner world, does not quite fit with the mould. His soul seeks refinement, art - everything he is unable to find at home. Aharon refuses to become like his parents for whom human existence is reduced to war and survival. As an expression of protest he does not grow an inch during three years. Betrayed by his family, by his best friend and his beloved, lonely in his small body, but aware of his maturing soul, he realises something must be done. Aharon crosses the boundary dividing childhood and adolescence in a dangerous inner journey, but determined to treasure the child within. Based on the acclaimed novel by David Grossman, INTIMATE GRAMMAR took the Grand Prix at the Tokyo International Film Festival 2010.
