Synopsis

Naor, a young filmmaker, tells his mother about being in Tel Aviv after a recent evacuation. Everyone else has fled, except for Naor and Yaël, his artist girlfriend, and Saba, his grandfather, who is a writer. The occasional missile explodes nearby. But Saba refuses to leave the place he loves. In defiance of the war, they scavenge an existence and explore the mysteries of their beloved city—until the unthinkable happens. A profound tale about our choices under pressure, about love for each other and for a place.
