Third Side of the Coin (1960)

1960. 12 years after the declaration of independence, Chris Marker travels to Israel to shoot his 4th film. Not without humor and poetry, he interprets the disparate "signs" of then and now: the conquered desert, the dark adventure of the Exodus, the Orthodox Jews of the Ghetto, the Wailing Wall, the kibbutz, the Sabbath, the childhood of Israel and its children - already regimented but carefree and nourished by hope.
