AN ISRAELI LOVE STORY is based on the true story of the love affair between Pnina Gary from Nahalal, and Eli Ben–Zvi, the son of Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second President of the State of Israel.

The film is set during the turbulent period of pre-state Israel. Margalit meets Eli on a bus and falls in love with him instantly. She tries to get close to him, but he’s too busy. Finally, the barriers come down, and Margalit moves in with Eli. They set a date for their wedding, but Israel’s harsh reality intervenes.
