A Jewish woman, Hanna (Hanna Maron), runs a bakery with her Arab husband Yussef (Yussef Abu Warda), while their son Moshe (Moshe Ivgi) has problems with his wife Didi (Dalit Kahan). With a proposed retail mall in the future, Yussef feels there are inherent political implications if he were to sell the bakery to the Israeli developer. Shown at the Montreal World Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Sharply engaging, even charming.
-
Fernando F. Croce, Slant Magazine
Gitai's questioning rigor, unexpectedly seasoned with some wry humor, makes his ode to uneasy multiracial union worth at least a rental.
-
Fernando F. Croce, Slant Magazine
Yom Yom, the second chapter in Amos Gitai's "City Trilogy," boasts a wry buoyancy absent from Devarim and Kadosh, the more dour pictures bracketing it.
-
Joshua Tanzer, Offoffoff
Pointless. Never has a little sex and violence been so desperately needed to break up the tedium.
-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Monotonous Israeli drama.
