Oil, Garlic and Lemon on Bread

Yossi Henkin was born in 1913. The son of Yehezkel Henkin, founder of HaShomer organization, he was raised against the backdrop of the Galilean hills at a time when the Turks and then the British ruled the country. At the age of 80, Yossi, the director’s grandfather, reacquaints himself with the landscapes that shaped his life from the day he was born. He takes us back to the legends surrounding his father, a famous hunter, to his own life as a warrior and farmer, and to his little garden in Petach Tikva, where he plays host to his grandchildren and serves them finely diced Israeli salad and chunks of bread spread with oil, garlic, and lemon.
