Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Yigal Mossinson's beloved 1950s book series that shaped Israeli childhood imagination for decades—think Hardy Boys but with actual national trauma.
Shlomo Artzi became one of Israel's biggest rock stars; this was his only major acting role before he swore off film forever. Wise choice? Debatable.
