With this documentary, Shlomi Elkabetz shares a poignant love letter to his sister, the late actress and director Ronit Elkabetz, and delivers a rare cinematic experience. Based on family archives and excerpts from the trilogy created by Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz, the film invites us into the intimacy of a Jewish-Arab family, a family of uprooted exiles, in an imaginary story where a brother and sister embark upon a fictional journey to revisit the past and the present to defy an implacable future. But the prophecy still shadows them – as in life, so in cinema.
