Aviva, My Love (Hebrew: אביבה אהובתי) is a 2006 Israeli drama film directed by Shemi Zarhin.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Aviva Cohen (Asi Levi) is a cook in a hotel in Tiberias, where her dream to be a writer has been suppressed for years. She draws ideas for her stories from her life. She carries a small notebook where at every opportunity she writes about small events that happen to her and she later weaves these events into her stories. With the help of her sister Anita (Rotem Abuhav), who lives next door, Aviva goes to Oded Zer (Shashon Gabai), a well-known writer who lives in Tel Aviv, a writer who reads her works and promises to help Aviva achieve her dream. The path to achieving her dreams was influenced by Aviva's family life- her unemployed husband- Muni (Dror Kern), three teenage children- Osherat (Dana Ivegi), a soldier, Alon (Itay Turgeman), and Ofek (Dekel Eden), her troubled mother, Violet (Lavna Finkelstein), and her sister Anita.

In her difficult financial situation, Oded Zer offers her a deal that she doesn't really understand its effects on her life. But at the same time the owner of the restaurant in the hotel also offers her to return to her job as a cook. However, her sister, Anita, intervenes in her life, until the point where Aviva accidentally witnesses Muni cheating on Aviva with her sister, which hurts Aviva deeply. Everybody around her worries about Anita, because she left her works with the writer, who is about to go abroad. Aviva must make decisions which is better for her: the money or the artistic work.
