What Is Sweet Mud About?

The premise of Sweet Mud without spoilers.

Set in the mid‑1970s, the film follows twelve‑year‑old Dvir Avni as he is torn between the egalitarian ideals of his kibbutz upbringing and the fraught bond with his increasingly marginalized mother, whose behavior leads the communal members to turn against her, exposing the clash between collective values and family loyalty.
