The film's plot is a perfect vehicle for Kosashvili's thematic concerns. The story centers on a tight-knit group of Georgian-Jewish porters working at in Israel. Their community lives like an insular tribe, bound by a rare dialect (Judaeo-Georgian) and intense internal pressure to marry within their culture, often with little regard for the broader laws of the state. fylm Gift From Above 2003 mtrjm kaml - fydyw lfth

Gift From Above (originally titled ) is a 2003 Israeli crime comedy-drama directed by Dover Kosashvili . The film explores the lives of a tight-knit Georgian-Israeli community living in a neighborhood near an airport. Plot Overview
The film’s synopsis on the Israel Film Center website outlines the grim pragmatism of the heist. The ringleader, Bacho, knows that the porters will be the first to be interrogated by the police. To protect himself, he must select two "suckers" from his crew to take the fall. He zeroes in on their vulnerabilities: Punchika, a compulsive gambler, and Otary, Bacho's own brother-in-law, who is a wife-beater. This is not a slick, stylish heist film; it is a story about men willing to destroy those closest to them, not for glory, but for greed and self-preservation.
