Synopsis

Liraz, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, wields her tattoo needle as a weapon against pain. Her mission is profound: to immortalize the 364 souls who perished on that fateful day. Through fractal tattoos, she weaves their stories—tales of loss, fear, faith, love, and hope—into the very fabric of the skin. Each inked line becomes a thread of healing, stitching together the wounds left by the tragedy that unfolded on October 7th. In the film, we witness the transformative power of art, as Liraz’s creations serve as both memorials and symbols of resilience. Her inked tapestry becomes a testament to the indomitable human spirit, seeking solace and redemption through creativity.
