NRWhen you are in a long-term relationship, you sometimes feel you are no longer an individual but a part of a super-organism. Between your daily routine, the decisions you make, the music you hear and the air you breathe – it’s hard to tell the difference between "my" choices and "our" choices. The vulnerable and moving voiceover of actress Molly Ringwald tells the story of a couple who have gone through such a long journey together that they can no longer determine where one ends and the other begins.

9.0Aviv Geffen, the grandson of legendary Moshe Dayan and number one Israeli rock list, is rapidly becoming a mythic figure himself. He was the last person to embrace Rabin before that controversial politician was assassinated. The charismatic, bisexual singer-songwriter has rapidly become the Jim Morrison or Bob Dylan of his country, a voice that represents peace and integrity for a troubled young generation. Concert footage, kinetically edited and brilliantly shot, reveals the depth of feeling that many Israelis have for Aviv: hip, youthful women and men are clearly enamored of his presence. Directed by Tomer Heymann, this feature documentary follows the life of Aviv Geffen, a controversial Israeli singer whose liberal upbringing led him to refuse to serve in the Israeli military. Over the last six years, Geffen has become a spokesperson for the country's youth, and this film chronicles the rise of his career, his family roots, and how he finds the inspiration to write music.
