The film received acclaim from critics and audiences. It won eight Ophir Prizes awarded by the Israeli Film Academy.[2] It was Israel's original Foreign Language Film submission for the 80th Academy Awards, but was rejected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences because it contained over 50% English dialogue.[3] Thus, Israel sent Beaufort instead; Beaufort was eventually included in the five final nominees.[4]
