Children of the Steps (1984)
Overview
Hagit – blonde, well-off, and Ashkenazi – moves back to Israel with her family after a five-year stint in the US. She joins the local Hashomer Hatzair branch following an encounter with Eddie, another member who is of Mizrahi descent. The two soon become romantically involved. As Hagit gets further acquainted with the other members, the vast majority of whom are also of Mizrahi/Sephardi heritage, social divides and ethnic, classist tensions start brewing.
