The character Yossi first appeared in the 2002 film Yossi and Jagger where two soldiers fall in love. Now a workaholic doctor, Yossi lives a solitary existence in Tel Aviv. When a woman from his past talks into his examination room he re-evaluates his life and sets off on a new journey.

One critic (Melissa Hanson) says "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll grin from ear to ear". Yossi is a film with a tender, deeply romantic sensibility that gradually leads to a climactic scene of soaring emotion.

Critics

Ohad Knoller puts in a tour de force performance and this is a lovely story full of emotions that builds to a crescendo. A beautiful film with a lot of heart.
