Mark Ginzburg is a talented artist who is always depressed. He's 52, but personal and professional success has escaped him. Many years ago, Mark moved from his native Riga to Tel Aviv to get away from his oppressive father, Viktor, who still supports him financially. Victor Ginzburg is a famous conductor. His work is his life. He never cared about Mark's feelings and tried to mold his son in his own image. Their highs and lows turned long ago into a love-hate relationship. More hate than love. Father calls his son by his childhood nickname Birdie, which infuriates the son. Son calls his father Your Majesty, which infuriates the father. After Viktor is diagnosed with a fatal illness, the father and son set off on a difficult journey that leads from hate to love.

It’s the Gulf War. Two soldiers, an American and an Iraqi, find themselves
lost in the desert, and the relationship between them is seen through
the eyes of an iguana. The American is trying to get through to
headquarters so that he can be rescued. The Iraqi flatters the American,
deferring to him as General Schwarzpot, and is willing to humiliate
himself just to get some food and drink. When it becomes clear to the
American that the Iraqi is hiding drugs, he promises him a good, rich life
in America. At the moment of truth, though, he will leave him to his fate.
