Full Description
A finely etched, carefully detailed look at a woman's descent into madness and the effect it has on her family. The story is told from the perspective of NiIi, her ten-year old daughter, who tries in vain to hold the family together. THE THIN LINE provides a compelling portrait of middle-class life in Israel, and contrasts the tranquillity and wholesomeness of the kibbutz where Nili ends up, with the lice-ridden mental hospital where her mother is sent for shock treatment.
