It is summer, it is hot. It is time for the holidays. A young Israeli couple set off on their trip to the Sinai. The sea is to their right and ahead of them is nothing but motorway and the prospect of a few lovely days. The most important thing is with them at all times: their camera. 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. When they pick up a hitchhiker, their configuration goes into a tailspin. Out of nowhere, danger draws nearer.

The Visit

Hagar comes to visit her father in a Jerusalem nursing home. Before entering his room she looks at him and chooses to escape, but a series of mishaps forces her to spend the day in the building, masquerading as a caretaker. The short visit turns into a journey between the narrow corridors of the Israeli society.

The film is a personal 6 minute animated short. It tells the story of a lonely young woman dealing with her personal and emotional defenses and what happens once the defenses she worked hard to put in place and live with are compromised. The film attempts to explain the feeling that many of us go through in life, dealing with certain situations where our world is turned upside down for a brief moment.
