Boy Meets Girl (1982 film)

Boy Meets Girl (Hebrew: בן לוקח בת Ben Loke'ah Bat) is a 1982 Israeli drama directed by Michal Bat-Adam.

The film explores the conflicts between the contrasting cultures of that time in Israeli society, where kibbutzim still held a key canonical role.

When her parents, who are both doctors, travel to Thailand as part of their work, Aya is placed in a boarding school on a kibbutz.

As an outsider, she has difficulty adjusting to the insularity and unfamiliar values and practices of kibbutz society.

She struggles to cope with the challenges of living with dozens of her peers in a communal children's dormitory where there is no separation according to gender.
