INTIMATE GRAMMAR 
Country: Israel 2010 Drama A dysfunctional family and delayed puberty make life miserable for a pre-adolescent boy growing up in Jerusalem in the 1960's. Sensitive Aharon Kleinfeld is doing his best to to survive his overbearing mother, his anti-intellectual father and his own diminutive stature in a lower-middle-class housing development where gossip is rampant and appearances are all-important. Three years in the life of Aharon in which his soul matures but his body refuses to grow. Perhaps one of his glands is dormant, or perhaps he is afraid of growing up and becoming like his parents. Or maybe, he is just a late bloomer, in need of a little more time. But nobody has the time to wait. Betrayed by his family, by his best friend and his beloved, lonely in his small body, but aware of his maturing soul, he creates a parallel inner world into which he can retreat. By turns melancholy and poetic, allegorical and painfully real, this poignant film is based on a novel by renowned Israeli author David Grossman.
