Love at Second Sight (Hebrew: אהבה ממבט שני|translit='''Ahava Mimabat Sheni'''|italic=yes) is a 1999 Israeli independent underground dramatic art film directed by Michal Bat-Adam.[1]
Nina, a 25-year-old photographer living with an 80-year-old senior, Frumin, with whom she is in a relationship, and, who developed an interest in the field due to the fact that her grandfather, Olek (played by as a younger man), was one too, discovers one day in one of the photos she took an interesting-looking man, Dan (Alon Abutbul), she did not notice while taking the picture. She begins looking for him, becoming obsessed with this search: Although Nina knows nothing about this man, she feels as if her relation to him is not some caprice, and knows he is meant for her and that she must find him, for, otherwise, she may not be able to live with herself.[2]
Writing in Haaretz, critic opined that the film, "although taking place in contemporary times, has something old in it, of an older, different, Israel, much older in fact, in which young women lived with elderly men and served their most elementary romantic fantasies."[3]
