Winds Junction

It is summer, it is hot. It is time for the holidays. A young Israeli couple set off on their trip to the Sinai.

They document their journey without cessation, filming each other and themselves. It’s all about the composition of the picture. It’s also about the composition of their lives, their mutual lives.
