★★☆☆☆ Israeli director Efrat Corem's debut feature Ben Zaken (2014) is set in a cramped apartment in a poor suburb of Ashkelon, a coastal city in the Southern District of Israel. Two adult brothers Leon (Mekikes Amar) and Shlomi (Eliraz Sade) live with their mother Dina (Chani Elemich) and Shlomi's troubled daughter eleven-year-old Ruhi (Rom Shoshan). God-fearing Leon works in construction and employs his younger brother as a night watchman, but Shlomi hates the job and resents having Leon as his boss. He's constantly tired, barely eats, chain smokes and is worried about Ruhi who's a loner and being bullied at school.
