About the film
A DJ returns to Israel for the first time since a tragic accident at one of his concerts ten years ago. Staying in his sister's empty apartment, he meets Liri, a young photographer sent to capture his portrait. Their encounter, shifting between distance and intimacy, forces Itay to confront the weight of guilt, fractured family ties, and the question of whether redemption is still possible.

— Director’s statement
I wanted to make a small, human film about two strangers helping each other move forward; about music drawing people back into the world; and about the hope that responsibility, compassion and peace might still offer us a better future.
