Pour Sacha                         1991 - France - 114 min. -

Wanting to learn more about his Jewish heritage, a French philosophy
professor moves to an Israeli kibbutz located near the Golan Heights
in 1965. He is followed by a non-Jewish former student who abandons
her aspirations of becoming a concert violinist to be with him. Two
years pass, and professor Sacha is joined by three more former
students who have come down to celebrate the lovely violinist's 20th
birthday. Unfortunately, the tensions that led up to the Six Day's War
are rapidly escalating and Sacha is drafted into the military. The
night of the party, one of the guests shows home movies of their lives
in Paris. Sacha cannot help but feel guilty pangs while watching for
the films contain scenes of his love Myriam, the woman who committed
suicide after he broke up with her. Her death is one of the reasons he
left Paris. It is with this guilt roiling around inside that
 Sacha goes to war leading to the story's bittersweet conclusion. --
