Part of the 2025 SVJFF’s Tribute to Avi Nesher

In the late 1960s, a group of Indian families arrives in Israel, dreaming of opportunity and modern life. Instead, they are relocated to a remote desert settlement populated largely by Moroccan Jews. Cultural tensions and mutual misunderstandings quickly emerge as the newcomers struggle to adapt to harsh realities and forge a place in this unfamiliar world. Amid the friction, a tender romance blossoms between two teenage girls from opposite sides of the divide, offering a glimmer of hope and connection. Blending humor with heartfelt emotion, Turn Left at the End of the World captures a powerful moment of cultural collision and resilience. Celebrated as a “New Israeli Classic,” the film was honored with a special 20th anniversary screening and digital restoration at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque in October 2024.
