Children of Jerusalem - Yehuda J'ai aimé suivre le jeune Yehuda dans son cheminement de jeune Juif heureux à l'école, à la maison et au parc accompagné par sa mère pour surveiller le plus jeune de ses 10 frères et soeurs. Il fait les courses au marché, ramène le tout à maison en étant visiblement très heureux. Il prie avec ferveur et il est un garçon qui aime la vie en racontant à son frère les grands yeux bleus du garçon sur une photo des ses ancêtres provenant de Russie. Un film rafraichissant.
