In Hanna’s Journey, a new movie about a German volunteer in Israel, a homegrown star shines very brightly: Doron Amit.Amit, who is part of the Habima Theater company and has appeared in a number of movies and television shows, plays the leading man in the film.

Itay, the character he plays, is a deceptively confident young teacher who runs the center for the developmentally disabled where Hanna, the volunteer, works when she arrives in Israel. His confidence masks sensitivity and torment, and eventually he and Hanna develop a strong attachment that changes the way she sees Israel and herself.The film, based on a novel by Theres Bauerlein, was directed by Julia von Heinz, and is an interesting mixture of comedy, social and political commentary, and romance.
