Wiki.
The Dreamer (Hebrew: Ha-Timhoni) is a 1970 Israeli drama film written and directed by Dan Wolman, his first feature film. The lead roles are played by Tuvia Tavi, Laura Rivlin, and Berta Litvinov. The film was a failure in Israel but was accepted into the 1970 Cannes Film Festival and was screened in New York for more than three months.
The film was shot at the Beit HaSarayah in Safed, which at the time served as a nursing home for Melab'n, and in the alleyways of the old city of Safed.
The plot centers around an eccentric young man who is (platonically) attracted to an elderly woman until a young and attractive girl appears. The role of the elderly woman was initially offered to Ida Kaminska, but she could not appear and recommended her friend, Berta Litvinov, who was 74 at the time.
