Boy Meets Girl (Hebrew: בן לוקח בת‬) is a 1982 Israeli drama directed by Michal Bat-Adam. It was filmed on location at Kibbutz Ma'ayan Tzvi.

The story is a semi-autobiographical account of Bat-Adams' own upbringing at a kibbutz boarding school.[1] Her 1994 film, Aya: Imagined Autobiography (Hebrew: איה‬), revisits the character of Aya, who is now a married woman haunted by her past.

Plot

Aya (Einat Helfman) is a shy 10-year-old girl who has grown up in Tel Aviv. When her parents, who are both doctors, travel to Thailand as part of their work, Aya is placed in a boarding school on a kibbutz. As an outsider, she has difficulty adjusting to the insularity and unfamiliar values and practices of kibbutz society. She struggles to cope with the challenges of living with dozens of her peers in a communal children's dormitory where there is no separation according to gender.
