DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

​This film was born from the moment I first heard my grandmother Yehudit's voice on an old cassette I found by chance. The voice I heard was human and vulnerable, contradicting the story I had been told about her. That encounter ignited something in me I couldn’t let go of: the need to create a space where my mother could meet this voice - and perhaps herself as well.

​

From my position between generations, I use cinema to do something life itself doesn’t allow: to create a conversation that never took place between these three generations. The archival materials don’t offer a solution, but instead generate an emotional confrontation that builds throughout the film. They invite a renewed look at the past through an intimate conversation - at times funny, and painfully honest. The understanding that there is no single truth in a family is something we all know intimately.

​

I came to this film wanting to create closure for my mother, and I failed. Through the process, I realized this was not actually my role. Within the cinematic space I created, I was also forced to meet myself - and from that place, the film emerged, letting go of the need to fix and instead choosing to look at things as they are, with love.
