Scaffolding (Hebrew: פיגומים) is a 2017 Israeli drama film written and directed by Matan Yair, starring Asher Lax as a 17-year-old boy who, as usual, finds himself in trouble and must confront an abusive father (Yaakov Cohen) at home, while seeking a new role model at school (Ami Smolarchik).

At the same time, he works with his father, Milo (Yaakov Cohen), in the family scaffolding business at construction sites.

The father, an older man who is ill and facing surgery, treats his son harshly, even physically abusing him, while preparing him for the day when the family business will pass into his hands.

Despite this, there are several moments when the father shows respect and trust in his son, even telling him that the business is no longer his, but Asher's.

When Rami Arad (Ami Smolarchik), a new literature teacher, arrives at the school and starts preparing the class for the matriculation exam, Asher finds a new role model in him and imagines a future that differs from the one his father has planned for him.
