Cafe Taamon, King Georgestreet, Jerusalem Golda Meir drank coffee here and so did Shimon Peres. The Taamon is one of the oldest cafes in Jerusalem and it is world famous. It has been a meeting place for radical political activists, artists, politicians and the literati. Israel and its political development have been fervidly debated here, in the past as well as today. The cafe is history in a microcosm. Established in 1936, a Jewish family took it over again in the 60s. Together with Hamis, a Muslim, they cater for their guests day after day. The director precisely documents their everyday life. He shows the bistro, its owners and customers. He moves away from them to investigate stories and comes back again, to Taamon.
