I screened Bar Ziv's film at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, and it is excellent!
The female lead, Anna, is played by Asia Naifeld, and her performance is amazing. She plays opposite Guy Kapulnik, who is also great. Anna conducts the investigation in a 3x3 metre room, where she interrogates those accused of abuse while contending with personal calls from her ageing mother (hilarious).
Anna is under pressure from her superiors to close the investigation and exonerate the soldiers, but she is relentless. The camera work is masterful, using long fixed shots which capture every emotion. The room is a microcosm of contemporary Israeli society. The ending - dramatic and unexpected - is open to debate.
