“The Wooden Gun evokes the harsh landscape and tense atmosphere of Tel Aviv and Israel in the first years of independence: the hopes, fears, frustrations and, above all, the complex relationships between the generation who came there from Europe and those who were born in the country.... The usual pains of growing up are here amplified by the tremendous gap between a generation carrying the burden of centuries of suffering climaxed by the Holocaust, and a generation born into freedom.” Jewish Film Festival
