Israel, 2021, 1 hour 31 minutes, subtitles
With its delicate touch, finely drawn characters and outstanding performances this gentle film explores a group of women’s lives and what they have in common despite their apparent differences. Eight women, Arab & Jewish, take part in a video workshop. They get to know each other as they film their lives and share their hopes and fears. Beautifully constructed this treads a fine line between fiction and documentary to reveal the power of cinema to reach across cultural divisions.
“Their revelations are hesitant, often suggestive more than expressive and feel entirely authentic. Rotem’s film rewards audiences with many intensely charged and poignant moments.” Jewish Film Review
“the film offers a rare glimpse to the hidden depths of the lives of Jewish and Palestinian women, where their central point of convergence, the most profound thing they had in common, is simply being a woman.“

Gyda’i hymdriniaeth ysgafn, ei chymeriadau cain a’i pherfformiadau rhagorol mae’r ffilm dyner hon yn archwilio bywydau grŵp o fenywod a’r hyn sydd ganddynt yn gyffredin er gwaethaf eu gwahaniaethau ymddangosiadol. Mae wyth o fenywod, Arabaidd ac Iddewig, yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithdy fideo. Maen nhw’n dod i adnabod ei gilydd wrth iddynt ffilmio eu bywydau a rhannu eu gobeithion a'u pryderon. Mae’r ffilm hon sydd wedi'i llunio'n gelfydd yn troedio llwybr cul rhwng ffuglen a ffilm ddogfen gan ddatgelu gallu sinema i ymestyn ar draws rhaniadau diwylliannol.
