In Israel we hang out with some migrant workers from Eastern Europe and find one in particular is very talkative (an older man called Tolya). The next day in Woman's Day and all the workers call home to greet their wives with messages of love, although ironically Toyla has damaged his teeth and is not able to clearly speak but is determined to get his message of love across.This is an odd short film because it is very intimate and in some ways it takes the viewer with it but in other ways it goes to a place that is just between two people and leaves us watching. The film opens with Tolya describing where he lives back at home by pacing out landmarks in an open space in a way that would be really helpful if we knew the street but I guess for the majority of people, we will not. This scene does get us to know the character though and Tolya is animated, friendly and warm in his interaction with the camera. This helps because we see his frustration later at not being able to do the same with his wife on the phone and yet we also understand his determination to make her smile and be happy.How he does this is a very personal thing that means a lot to them as a couple but maybe not to the viewer and as such I am sort of split on it. The moment is nice but the detail of it seems a little odd and it kind of worked and kind of didn't. The personal touch is nice though and, whether he is an actor or real person, Tolya is well presented and makes for a friendly and engaging hook at the heart of the film.
