The Little Traitor
 
Based on the novel "Panther in the Basement" by the world renowned author, Amos Oz, the movie takes place in Palestine in 1947, just a few months before Israel becomes a state.
 
Proffy Liebowitz, a militant yet sensitive twelve year old wants nothing more than for the occupying British to get the hell out of his land. Proffy and his two friends are always plotting ways to terrorize the British until one evening, while he's out after curfew, Proffy is seized by Sergeant Dunlop, a British officer.  Instead of arresting him, he escorts him back home but what ensues in the weeks to come is a friendship between these two foes.  Proffy starts to consider Dunlop as a father figure, as his own father is cold and remote.  Dunlop, lonely and poetic, loves the spirited boy and together they discuss many topics and share personal secrets during their meetings which Proffy must keep a secret from his friends and family.
 
When Proffy's friends follow him one day and see that he has been visiting their enemy, they report him to the town officials and Proffy is brought to public trial for being a traitor. He is eventually found innocent but these experiences shape him for life...especially the shock that he could have such genuine affection for his enemy....
