Set in 1980, “Lost Islands”, an autobiographical film about an Israeli family with five children, was the biggest box office success in Israel 2008. The story revolves around twin brothers, Erez and Ofer. Their father, Mr. Levi, constantly stresses to the boys the importance of fulfilling their dreams, while their mother, Mrs. Levi, preaches absolute family loyalty. When the boys both fall in love with the same girl, the ideals instilled in them by their parents clash and they are forced to decide between family loyalty and love. When Erez attempts to escape the troubles at home by enrolling in the army, he undergoes life-changing events, which force him to mature and recognize that he must choose between pursuing his dreams and being faithful to his family.
