It is only after the sudden death of her married lover that 34-year-old costume designer Ella gets the chance to learn more about Assaf, the playwright she both loved and admired. While her colleagues, who knew about the long-term affair, expect Ella to keep silent, she struggles to contain her grief and finds herself coming to the home Assaf shared with his wife Natasha every day during the shiva, gradually making her role in Assaf’s life known to all. A stylish and intriguing drama, Ma’ayan Rypp’s impressive debut feature –starring two of Israel’s leading actresses, Dana Ivgy and Ania Bukstein –compassionately explores the tension between the two women, but also their undeniable emotional connection.

Security measures, including bag searches, will be in operation at this year's festival. Please allow a little extra time for this when planning your journey.
