Synopsis

The film Shira Tama depicts the personal tale of a 12-year-old girl born and raised in the Amona settlement, who is about to experience the most important moment of her life as the High Court of Justice condemns her home to be demolished. Shira Tama documents the final days of her home as she knows it, and allows us to bear witness to the dramatic events in her life. Her Bat Mitzva year will culminate in a celebration on the hilltops of Amona, but the view will be decidedly different from the one she has known her entire life.
