Synopsis

The Sixteenth Sheep was born as a one-of-a-kind work created through the rare collaboration of poet and writer Yehonatan Geffen and composer Yoni Rechter. They were joined by Gidi Gov, Yehudit Ravitz and David Broza. 

 

Over the years, the album became a landmark of Israeli culture, with its words and melodies passed down as an emotional inheritance from parents to children and grandchildren. 

 

The Sixteenth Sheep: The Reunion follows the preparations for the historic reunion concert, which took place during the turbulent days that have shaken Israeli society. The film captures the concert itself, but above all, the extraordinary emotion it awakens in the audience.
