Having read a few other reviews I must say here that I don't care if this film was a low budget production. It is an important historical film that touches on so much of Jewish life in Palestine at the time. My name is Luna and I am Sephardic. This series, aside from the awesome writing and amazing acting, also gave me insight into my roots and history in Palestine when the Sephardic Jews and the Eskenazi were very segregated and mixed marriages were looked down upon and/or ostracized. Also of the struggle for independence from the British was given a perspective I appreciate. A wonderful series well worth watching and learning from. My father rarely had the opportunity to speak Ladino in the USA so I especially appreciate listening to our ancient language of which I was so surprised I could actually glean the jist of when they spoke it. I love this series and seriously hope for one more season or until, at least, Israel becomes a state free from British influence and oppression.
