Do You Believe in Love? & Gignéville

Do You Believe in Love?
Israel, 2013, 60 minutes
Director: Dan Wasserman
Matchmaker Tova is a character for the ages, joined by a cast of equally colorful co-stars: her Nepalese refugee caregiver, her crusty but adoring husband, her apprentice matchmaker daughter, and a steady stream of hopeful clients. Tova and many of her clients are disabled, and perhaps because of that, her approach to love is pragmatic above all. Still she declares, "I have made over 550 matches, and I am certain that has earned me my place in heaven."

Gignéville is the sweet story of star-crossed love found after the end of the Second World War when a million German soldiers worked as prisoners of war in France. Relationships between German soldiers and French women were persecuted, but the filmmaker's grandfather fell in love with a French girl during his work as a prisoner. Over sixty years later he talks about the events for the first time.
