The Little Traitor

Based on the novel Panther in the Basement by 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 eleven year old wants nothing more than for the occupying British to get the hell out of his land. He and his friends spend most of their time plotting ways to terrorize and/or blow up 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 deposits him back home, but what ensues in the weeks to come is a friendship between these two foes. When his village learns of their bond, they prosecute Proffy as a traitor.
