Film Screening: Eskimo Limon/Lemon Popsicle (Davidson, Israel) In-Person
Join our director Kevin for a film screening and post discussion.
Bentzi, Momo, and Yuda'leh are three teenage boys growing up in 1950s Israel, which is not much different from 1950s America if you believe what you see in the film. Of course they are obsessed with one thing: sex. Bentzi is interested in the beautiful Nili, but she prefers his friend Momo. Bentzi is working delivering ice to people when he comes across a voluptuous nympho. For some reason he leaves his job and gets his friends, who are promptly invited inside and divested of their virginity in an explicit softcore sex scene. Momo goes first, then the obese Yuda'leh. Before Bentzi can have his turn the nympho's sailor boyfriend suddenly returns from the sea and chases the boys away, and Yuda'leh is forced to run away naked. The boys next visit a prostitute who services each in turn; the experience causes Bentzi to vomit. With all this experience under his belt, Momo seduces Nili and impregnates her--and turns his back on her when she gives him the news. It's up to Bentzi to borrow money and sell his bicycle to get money for an abortion.
