Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Walk on Water (ללכת על המים, Lalekhet Al HaMayim) is a 2004 Israeli film. It is directed by New York-born Israeli director Eytan Fox and stars Lior Ashkenazi, Knut Berger, and Caroline Peters. The screenplay was written by Gal Uchovsky. Most of the dialogue takes place in English, although there is much in Hebrew and German.

Eyal is a Mossad agent. He is a hitman who targets enemies of Israel. His wife has recently committed suicide, and his chief Menachem decides that he needs to take on a less challenging assignment: to find Alfred Himmelman, an aging Nazi war criminal, and get him "before God does". In order to track down the old man, Eyal poses as a tour guide and befriends the Nazi's adult grandchildren, Axel and Pia.

Not to be confused with being able to actually walk on water, which is this Trope.


Tropes used in Walk on Water include:

Eyal: Hey Jesus, they lied to you! It's impossible to walk on water!

  • Unable to Cry: Eyal, due to medical reasons. He has to apply eye drops regularly.
