SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its wry, warm-hearted bank-robbery premise similarly turns financial humiliation into an offbeat caper led by older men, with friendship and generational frustration carrying as much weight as the crime.
02
Why this pick
A gentle, melancholy comic crime story about an elderly man drawn back into burglary. It shares the original’s affection for unlikely intergenerational bonds and its use of a caper to explore loss and dignity.
03
Why this pick
This Israeli ensemble comedy balances elderly-home camaraderie, family strain and unusually dark humor with compassion—close to Hunting Elephants’ tender but mischievous view of aging and difficult circumstances.
04
Why this pick
A subdued, character-led crime caper centered on retired men attempting one last audacious robbery. Its interest in aging, pride and group dynamics makes it a natural companion.
05
Why this pick
Another distinctly Israeli underdog comedy, finding warmth and sly humor in people dismissed by others who form an unlikely team and reclaim some control over their lives.

01 / THE STORY
Jonathan's father, Daniel (Tzvika Hadar), dies of a heart attack in his workplace, with Jonathan present but unable to help him. The bank manager, Dedi (Moshe Ivgy), refuses to pay compensation because the contract with the insurance company doesn't cover such events. Jonathan's mother, Dorit (Yael Abecassis), starts going out with Dedi because she needs the money, leaving Jonathan in an elderly home with his grandfather Eliyahu (Sasson Gabai).
