AFRICA (Oren Gerner 2019)

Israeli independent filmmaker Oren Gerner, in his first feature length film, has enlisted his father to play a version of himself surrounded by his mother, grandkids, neighbors and villagers doing likewise. The focus is on Meir, the father's, difficulties adjusting to being in retirement after an active life. Everyone is vry cooperative. Gerner is perhaps a little too manipulative. But this seems like a very dangerous way to work.
