Plot summary

Far from Tel Aviv and big city crimes, Daphna, 40, a promising police officer with a big mouth, finds herself in the small town of Afula dealing with petty crimes, seeking shade from the scorching heat and dodging the nagging question:” When are you going to get married, and have kids?”. The disappearance of Orly Elimeleh, a beautiful and wild 36 year-old army widow and former beauty queen, soon raises another troubling question for Daphna – why isn't anybody looking for her? This indifference towards Orly’s uncertain fate shakes Daphna to the core. Matan, the younger 34 year-old son and “black sheep” of Orly’s late husband’s family, seems to be the only one who shares Daphna’s concerns, which pushes her to step beyond her professional boundaries. As her faith both in herself and in everybody surrounding her is called into question, Daphna will have to do something she has managed to avoid her entire adult life : put her trust in a man.

Suspense in an Israeli Pinterland

The original Hebrew title of the movie 'Highway 65" is "The Yardstick Road," which refers to a particular Israeli road that runs quite flat and straight. Why is it the name of the movie? Maybe in a spirit of irony, because the movie takes us through twists and turns. Why "Highway 65: in English? I can't think why. That's the same road's official name,, but who among us English-speakers cares?The story isn't about the highway. It's about a woman police officer who bends the rules and is disrespected by her colleagues but is smarter than any of them. So that the audience can easily identify with her despite her brilliance, she has her failings at the personal level. She does not seem to own a cat, despite what the IMDB "Storyline" says, but she has a foible or two that can endear her to the audience while providing a little light-heartedness before the movie settles down to concentrate on suspense.I grumbled not many days ago, in connection with the Israeli TV series "The Truth," about the overfamiliarity of this type of police officer. But in "Highway 65" I didn't mind at all seeing the stock character revived again with another crime to solve. The movie is full of Pinteresque dialogue. A question is asked, and the response is not the answer, or there is no response at all, or the scene stops short. The photography is nice, and it includes some carefully focused close-ups which the actors carry off well.The story is set in and around the unremarkable city of Afula (near Highway 65). Although there's not much to root it in that specific area, there is a familiar aspect that roots it in Israel: The antecedent action includes an all-too-common trauma-- the loss of a young son and brother. That could happen anywhere, but in war-torn Israel it reverberates among more of the audience than in some other places.
