2003 ‘על הקו’ Directed by Shahar Rozen

Shahar Rozen presents a moving portrait of two women who forsake convention and acceptance to share a deep love and friendship. Round Trip is a story from Israel that depicts a blossoming relationship amidst the stark outskirts of Tel Aviv, between Nurit a mother of two separated from her husband who drives a bus for a living, and Mushedi, her live-in nanny from Ghana . Soon, Nurit’s husband infers that the two women are engaged in an un-orthodox relationship, and challenges their committed and abiding love. This thoughtfully created narrative serves as a gentle reminder that throughout the world, people continue to struggle for love, but that the journey of self-discovery makes the trip worthwhile.

The way life and social conditions produce unexpected impulses and attractions provides “Round Trip” with some powerful if underdeveloped themes. Director Shahar Rosen and writer Noa Grinberg create a fine example of sophisticated and cosmopolitan adult drama that pops up on Israeli television, in some ways distinctly different from the high-end tube equivalents in either the U.S. or U.K., where the writer tends to dominate. Both general and gay-and-lesbian fests will find this a quality programmer, but the drama’s subdued manner will restrict it to small-screen foreign markets.

There’s an unstated but clear symbolism in how bus driver Nurit’s (Anat Waxman) circular route in the northern Israeli town of Qiryat Shemone matches the aimlessness of her vacuous marriage. Terming it a job, Nurit wants some time off from matrimony to explore new options in Tel Aviv, where she takes her two reluctant and unhappy kids.

But the new life soon begins to resemble the old one, since Nurit is a working-class woman with no skills beyond the ones behind the wheel, and no real chance of transforming her existence. The kids are too much to handle alone, but Nurit seems to let pride momentarily stop her from hiring a live-in maid. So, when undocumented Nigerian home worker Mushidi (Nathati Moshesh) enters the scene, it just feels like one more step toward settling down in the big, mean city. But Nurit and Mushidi gradually gain each other’s confidence, friendship and, finally, love.

Waxman and Moshesh are like co-conspirators with Rosen and Grinberg in making these transitions play like natural steps in a process that can bring together lonely working women seeking basic human contact. The script makes the dramatically easy choice of having the affair exposed to the rest of Nurit’s family, which results in simplifying a complex situation. But Rosen’s directorial instincts have a way of injecting nuance and texture into what could have turned into excessive melodrama. She even makes Nurit’s final return back home interestingly irresolute, suggesting either a continued dead-end life or revived family bonding.

Waxman carries the movie to a large extent with her sinewy, slightly beaten-down manner, and Moshesh never is tempted to create a trite, angelic character who will save our heroine. Tech package is excellent.

Round Trip (2003)

Round Trip is a celebration of the ordinary. Its lead characters are fairly ordinary people and the film is shot in an unobtrusive, “real” feeling way. However, at no point did Round Trip take these ordinary characters and turn them or the movie they inhabit into something extraordinary.

Round Trip begins with a woman named Nurit leaving her husband. Nurit takes her two children and leaves her smaller town for the city of Tel Aviv. Here, she struggles with being able to support her children through work while also taking care of them. As such, she puts out a notice for a live-in nanny who would live rent-free in her apartment in exchange for childcare. Enter Mushidi, a Nigerian immigrant. While Nurit and her children are initially cold to the foreign Mushidi, they eventually warm to her and she becomes an important part of their household. Mushidi and Nurit specifically bond on late nights and days the children are with their father. Eventually, the two women begin an affair. However, this affair leads Nurit’s ex to anger and he says he will sue for custody of the children given Nurit’s homosexual affair with a black woman.

A major theme of Round Trip seems to be about putting women and female narratives front and centre. There’s a lot in here about Nurit struggling with a work/life balance and the sacrifices women make for their children. Additionally, in Nurit and Mushidi’s scenes together, the dialogue always has an undercurrent of the secret depths and struggles of women that they might not share with outsiders and specifically, men. This is a perfectly okay narrative and theme that in abstract, I support. However, none of this provided me with new information or challenges to my world view. I am a woman so I already knew that women are people and stuff.

The romance in the movie never really sizzles. Mushidi and Nurit’s increasingly charged conversations are decently written but lack chemistry. These women appear to be friends more than attracted to each other at least until they start kissing. Round Trip does not offer some epic love story or even an average love story with a lot of solid romantic tension. Nurit and Mushidi’s journey from acquaintances to lovers is frankly, bland.

My god, does this movie do Mushidi dirty though. She’s the best, most sympathetic and hardest working character but she remains relegated to less important love interest and accessory to Nurit’s journey. There’s definitely some unexplored irony that Nurit leaves her husband because she feels overworked and underappreciated. Then, when Mushidi enters the picture Nurit very much takes on the husband’s role. Mushidi works numerous jobs in addition to caring for Nurit’s children for free. Nurit never fully acknowledges how much Mushidi does for her and her children nor does the movie give adequate focus to Mushidi, the most interesting character with the hardest life.

Given the ending, I don’t know what the overall tone or take away of Round Trip was supposed to be. The movie ends with Nurit moving back to her small town. She remains divorced from her husband but as the title of the movie suggests, she ends the film almost at the same place she began. Is this good? Did she learn something about herself in Tel Aviv that made her realize where her true home was? Or was this a tragedy, that Nurit can’t change her life no matter how desperately she tries? I don’t know. I don’t know how to feel about this ending. To me, it seems quite tragic but the movie up until then was not a tragedy.

All I do know is that I am once again annoyed about the film’s treatment of Mushidi. While the end of their relationship causes Nurit to go back to her home town, Mushidi returns to Nigeria. How and why are we focusing on the woman whose post-breakup move was a few hours within the same country and not the woman who returned to an entirely different continent and once again lives in a country where homosexuality is illegal? It’s very hard to care about how Nurit feels when I’m too busy worrying about Mushidi.

Round Trip features a basic premise you could find in a lot of movies. This execution of this premise is mediocre. Round Trip lacked emotional focus and wasn’t emotionally resonant for me. More than anything though, Round Trip took a huge misstep in not having Mushidi be their lead character.

CGiii Comment

When a marriage runs dry, when money is a nagging worry, when there are not enough hours in the day, when joy has left the building...

And then, unexpectedly, a little sunshine manages to creep in...

Touching, truthful and troubling.

Low-budget, low key and a minor triumph for independent film-making.

The(ir) Blurb...

Nurit and Mushidi have come to Tel Aviv for very different reasons. Nurit packs up her son and daughter and leaves her jobless husband for what she hopes will be a more fulfilling life in the big city. Meanwhile, Mushidi has left Nigeria and her young son to look for work. When Nurit realizes that her bus-driving job will not pay the bills and allow her to watch her children, she decides to hire a nanny. Enter Mushidi who agrees to watch the children in exchange for room and board. Mushidi's smile and optimism seem to brighten the apartment immediately, and soon Nurit and Mushidi are spending time together on the bustling streets of Tel Aviv. When their friendship blossoms into something more, Nurit is forced to make a tough decision.
