Reviews
-
"The filmmaker embarked on a long and intimate documentary journey, capturing marginalized figures from the scorching southern edge of Israel’s periphery. Maintaining uncompromising humanism and a naturalistic aesthetic, he draws the viewer into the lives of unlikely protagonists who evoke both insight and empathy."
