The intriguing Israeli film Walk on Water tells of a macho Mossad agent whose assignment to track down a former Nazi officer brings him into close contact with his grandson, a liberal, liberated gay German man. The pair’s obvious interest in each other goes beyond an odd-couple friendship, although nothing is overtly spelled out on the screen. The film rather sells itself short with a cop-out ending in which the Mossad operative Eyal, who spends most of the film with a face like a clenched fist, taps into his sensitive side and starts gushing about the joys of fatherhood.
