-Stop!

-Hey, we're here.

Come on.

-Thank you.

- Hello!

Welcome!

Michael, look at you.

Welcome to your new home.

The electricity and water

are back as normal.

I had a maid clean everything.

I got all the essentials you asked for.

A new fridge,

a stove,

two mattresses,

and the rest of the furniture

is what your parents decided to keep.

-Thank you so much, Shlomi.

Do I owe you any more money?

-What you sent is enough.

-Are you sure?

-Absolutely.

You can't imagine how happy I am.

I wish you moved under better circumstances.

But it's so good to have you here, Michael, hm?

-Yeah. We're glad to be here too.

-Right. If you need anything, just let me know, all right?

Bye-bye, Rebecca.

Bye.

-I love you.

Good night.

Okay, let's put this against the back wall.

-Did you see mum's dress?

-Honey, it's in England.

-I put it in the bag before we left, it was there.

-Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

Hey, shh, shh, the dress is safe.

It's okay.

Okay, I put it in storage.

It'll be there when we visit.

We need a new start, honey.

-Yeah, I think we have a very nice camp,

and they will welcome her

and help her with her in Hebrew.

-Yeah, that's great. -Thank you.

-Yeah, yeah. -Okay.

Rebecca, let's go, dear.

-Go on, go play, have fun. It'll be good.

Go on. It's better than staying at home all day.

See you later.

-Guys, say hello to Rebecca.

She's joining our summer camp from England

and we want to help her learn in Hebrew.

Please help explain to Rebecca whenever necessary, okay?

-Rebecca,

what are you doing?

I don't want you coming near this.

Understood?

We can't do this anymore.

-You've reached Rachel Shapiro.

Please leave me a message

and I promise to get back to you as soon as I can.

-What happened?

You okay?

What were you doing?

-I'm sorry.

-Stay back, don't go near it. Stay back.

Stay there.

Scared the life out of me.

Where did you get this?

-I found it in the garden.

-Well, it's disgusting.

-But I cleaned it well.

-Go and get a mop.

Dry the water you got on the floor.

Hey.

Okay?

-This okay? -Yeah.

Hey sweetie.

I've got to go to work.

I made your breakfast, okay?

-Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice message system.

-Hey, are you okay?

Yeah?

It's okay.

Nothing's been taken.

Were you looking for something?

-I didn't do this.

-Honey, what's going on?

-Can I please sleep here?

-Of course, come on.

-Dad, dad!

Dad!

-The doll didn't draw itself.

-It wasn't me.

-You stop this nonsense.

-I didn't do it.

-We're getting help.

-You said no more doctors.

-No, we agreed, when things get better,

we won't see doctors anymore.

And Dr. Smith said that this move should help,

but you're doing everything to make sure it doesn't!

Rebecca?

Are you okay?

-There's someone in the house.

-What?

-There! Outside!

-Where?

-There!

-I don't see anything.

-Over there!

-Rebecca. There is nothing out there.

-By the tree!

-I hear you're not happy about moving here.

I don't blame you.

You must be missing home.

A change can be scary, but it can also be good.

Would you like to tell me what worries you about this place?

-Rebecca, please answer Dr. Kaplan.

-Would you rather check out the magazines

in the waiting area?

-I'm so sorry.

-That's okay.

She's clearly upset at you, but that will change.

-Well it's almost a year now of her acting besides herself.

-Children cope differently.

The loss of a mother can take a lifetime to heal.

Have you both been to therapists?

-I'm fine, but Rebecca, she's not improving.

-What did they try in the UK?

-Antidepressants.

Fluoxetine.

-Did it help?

-No, very little. -Okay.

I will give her something that should help with the anxiety

and it will help her sleep better

and see how things go.

-Honey.

You're the person I love most in this whole world.

-More than mum?

-I love mum so much too.

She would want me to do everything possible

to make sure you're okay.

I do all of this,

all of it for her

and for us.

Come on.

This will help you sleep better.

It'll be good for you.

-Dad?

Dad!

Mum?

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Please go away.

Leave me alone. I don't have your doll.

You won't find it here.

-Shila.

Truth or dare.

-Hello?

I know you're angry at me.

I didn't know it was your doll.

Are you there?

Hello?

I wanted to tell you how sorry I am.

-I want it back.

-I'm so sorry, my father threw it away.

We didn't know it was yours.

Please don't go.

Where can I get you the same one?

-You can't.

-Why?

-My mum made this for me.

-Please don't go.

Wait.

Please.

-Rebecca?

Your pill.

Here you are.

Good girl.

-What happened to my things?

-Your things?

-The things I had here.

This is my room.

-When was that?

My grandfather got this house a long time ago,

but we only moved in recently.

Where's your family?

-I don't know.

-Are they dead?

-We ran away when the war got too close,

but

I came back for my doll.

Then the men with guns came.

So I hid.

I never saw my family again.

-He can't see you.

-You okay?

Why didn't you change?

Come on, it's getting late.

You okay?

- The teacher must be bluffing.

Why would there be a fruit tree here?

- Look! Rebecca found it.

It's a cactus.

-Hey, welcome home.

Hey, dinner will be ready, soon.

-Dad. What's that hole for?

-I'm not sure.

Maybe it was used to access pipes and wires in that wall

then became unnecessary with renovation.

-It was to put food away so we can let Simon in the house.

Simon, the dog.

-Maybe they used it to keep food out of reach of pets.

-Maybe.

-Dad, who did grandpa get the house from?

-He bought it from the state.

-Do you know who lived in it before?

-No.

Why are you asking?

-Just curious.

What are you doing?

-I had the key to the house.

I stole it from my mum to come get the doll, but

now I don't know where it is.

-The locks have all been changed.

What's your name?

-Rasha.

-I'm Rebecca.

-I know.

Your father is always looking for you.

How come he cannot see me?

-Are you dead?

Did you drown in the well?

-I'm not dead.

I hid in there from the men with guns.

-How long have you been there?

-I don't remember.

You're always playing with this.

-You've never seen one before?

That's my mother.

-Where is she?

-She died in an accident.

-I'm so sorry.

You have the same eyes as her.

-Do you want to come to the camp with me?

-It's not safe out there.

-Rebecca.

-I'm coming.

Theatre of Tales presents The Puppet Show.

-Thank you children.

I had a lovely time.

We'll see you next time.

-Excuse me.

I'm looking for a doll like this.

Can you make one?

-Wow.

It's very old style doll.

-Can you make one like it?

-Women used to make those for their daughters.

This embroidery,

you see,

is like the dress that the women used to wear themselves.

The puppets I make are very different.

-Who can make one for me?

-Only if you're lucky to find an old woman

who still knows how to.

I met one a few years ago, who was still making them.

-Where can I find her?

-I don't know.

It was long time ago.

I met her in a handcraft fair in Bethlehem.

Why do you want this doll?

-Rebecca.

What are you doing here?

You got us all so worried about you.

I am sorry to bother you.

- We found her.

-I'm sorry.

You can't just leave the group like that.

-Why don't you even want to try?

-It's not safe for me out there.

-How do you know that?

-I just do.

-If I had the slightest chance in the world

to see my mum again,

I wouldn't hesitate to look for her everywhere.

-All women here make embroidery.

The woman this man met could be anybody.

My mum said we'll be back when things calm down,

she will come back for me when it's safe.

-But I go out every day.

What are you talking about?

-I will wait for my mum right here.

I don't want her to come and not find me.

-Dad.

Can we go to Bethlehem?

-Why do you wanna go there?

-Just curious.

-We can't go there, honey.

-Why?

-Because it's not safe to go there.

-Why?

-Because some places simply aren't safe to go.

-A toast

for Michael and Rebecca

for new beginnings

and for happy days in a new home.

Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-You know Michael,

this house - worth millions today.

Your father did you a great favour.

-Honestly, I'm surprised my father did that, but.

-The 60's were the time to buy.

The minute the state put the empty homes for sale,

I called my friends, including your dad.

-The thanks goes Shlomi then.

-Yeah, of course.

-Excuse me for a minute.

-There used to be an old piano in that corner.

-What happened to it?

-Michael's parents gave it away.

They gave away most of the furniture.

-The piano alone

would've brought a lot of money today.

-It was a beautiful baby grand.

Beautiful.

-How did this happen?

-Let me clean it.

-Oh, it's okay, don't worry about it.

-I'll help you.

-Okay.

-I'm glad Rebecca seems to be better.

-I hope so.

-I'm sure.

-She holds onto things, you know?

And I keep trying to hide everything

that might trigger the past for her.

I don't know, recently other things

seem to take her attention away,

which is helping her forget, I guess.

-Yeah, distractions are necessary.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Rebecca. Only the playground.

Not there or there, okay?

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

-You're home early.

-How did you get out?

-I was waiting for you.

I have something to show you.

-I thought dad left it behind.

-Your father has been hiding this from you.

-It hurts him to remember.

I miss her so much.

-You should always remember her.

When my grandmother died,

my mother used to say,

grandmother will always be with us

in our memory.

-I was with her in the car,

but I can't remember what happened.

I wish I could just talk to her for a minute.

I keep having this nightmare.

I'm standing

by our crashed car.

I just stand there looking at my mum inside.

I don't help her.

I just watch her die.

-If there was anything you could do,

I'm sure you would have done it.

This is just a nightmare.

-Look at this.

I think it says something about your family.

What does it say?

-This is the house of Khalil and Mariam Mansour.

What's left of the family is now in

Aida refugee camp.

Khalil and Mariam are my parents.

-See, I searched online.

Aida refugee camp is in Bethlehem.

Your family is out there, aren't you happy?

-All this time, and they're in Bethlehem.

We used to hike there along the train tracks.

If they are so close,

why didn't they ever come back to look for me?

-Maybe they thought it's best you stay in Jerusalem.

My dad said it's not safe over there.

We will find a way to get to them.

Don't worry.

-We have to leave.

-What?

-The men with guns are back.

- Good morning Mr. Shapiro.

-Detective Rosso with you.

We would like to see your daughter.

-Why? What's going on?

-I told you this place isn't safe, but you don't listen.

-This is just the police.

-Rebecca!

-Calm down, they can't see you anyway.

It's fine.

-Rebecca!

- Identity confirmed.

-We need to search your house, sir.

-Well, not without an explanation.

-We intercepted some activity on your daughter's

social media that raise some concerns.

-You're monitoring my daughter's social media?

-We track all suspicious activities online.

Not just your daughter's. It's for everybody's good.

-Why? What did she do?

-She's talking to people in suspicious online groups that,

let's say, we're keeping an eye on.

Can we look around now?

-Yeah.

-I understand you reported a burglary lately, yeah?

-Yes.

Nothing was stolen.

-Have you had any guests staying over?

-No.

-Anyone from the Palestinian territories, maybe?

-No.

-Have you ever given your keys to a stranger

or did anyone online ask you

if they can stay at your house maybe?

Unlock it please.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Very nice garden.

We'll let you know if there's something to worry about.

But,

for now I just suggest you keep an eye

on what she does online.

-Yeah. -Thank you very much.

-It should not be open like this.

It's not safe.

-Can I have my phone back?

I don't know what they were talking about.

I didn't do anything wrong.

-You're grounded.

Go up to your room.

Now!

Get down.

-Rasha.

Rasha.

Rasha, they're gone now.

It's safe to come out.

I'm so sorry.

I did not know this would happen.

I promise you it won't happen again.

Please Rasha.

-Red wine?

-Yes.

Thank you.

-Cheers.

-Who makes these?

-Those are handmade, local

and only for ten dollars.

-Are these from Aida camp?

-From all over.

-How do I get to Aida camp?

-Welcome.

-Do you have leather wallets?

-I have one left.

-How much is this?

-15.

I also have…

-Excuse me, Do you know how I can get to Aida camp?

-No English.

-I can take you.

Why do you wanna go to the camp?

-I'm looking for a friend's family.

-So do you play football?

-I did sometimes at school.

-What's your favourite team?

-I'm not sure.

-I think Liverpool's the best.

Abu Mohammad.

- Yes?

- Do you know anyone from the Mansour family?

- Mansour? I don't know.

-Khaled!

Khaled!

- One second.

- Do you know anyone from the Mansour family?

- Mansour? I don't think so.

- I know someone from the family.

I'll take you.

- Thank you.

- Hello.

- Welcome.

- This foreign kid is looking for you.

-What do you want?

-I like the dolls you make,

I heard a lot about them.

-Where is your family?

-They're on a tour of the camp.

-They know you're here?

-Yes.

Yeah.

-Come in.

-Thank you.

-You kids today aren't interested in these dolls.

-They're beautiful. I like how the colouring

and the stitching on each one is different.

-Oh.

Each doll represents a different region.

-Can I buy one?

-Oh, take whichever you like.

I have so many.

-Simon.

-What dear?

-Nothing.

Can I take this one?

-That's my favourite.

That's my hometown's embroidery.

What's your name?

I'll put your initial on it.

-Rebecca.

Let me do it.

Is that your home?

-Yes.

-Do you ever go there?

-It's not possible.

-Why not?

-In 1948,

we were forced to leave

and were never allowed to go back.

Armed men stormed our neighbourhood.

Many people ran away.

-She's gone, it's my daughter, I called you.

My name's Michael Shapiro, she's gone.

-They went from house to house,

looking for anyone who stayed behind.

Oh.

-Are you okay?

-The past hurts my heart.

I've got to the point where

I hardly care whether I live or die.

The world will keep on turning without me.

I should hurry.

Your mother will be worried for you.

-Come with me.

-To where?

-To your home in Jerusalem.

Your daughter is there waiting for you.

She's been waiting for years.

She lost the doll you made for her.

-I don't understand.

-You forgot?

-I think you may be confusing me with someone else.

-No, this is your home.

I live there now.

Your daughter is devastated she can't find you.

Try to remember.

- Yes?

- I'm the daughter-in-law of your neighbours.

They asked me to bring you some pastries.

- I'm sorry.

I don't remember.

Please come in.

- Be quiet!

-Let me go!

-Shh, it's okay, it's okay.

Don't worry. We are police.

You are safe now.

Lay down.

- Good job everyone.

-Rebecca! Hey Rebecca, hey, hey, hey.

Take it easy sweetheart. Rebecca!

-Rasha! Let go of me. I found your mother.

-Rebecca!

-Rasha! Stop it! Rasha!

-Calm down!

-I found her!

-Rebecca!

-She'll be okay. -Rasha!

-What are they doing?

-Let me go! Rasha!!

-Rebecca!

-Ow! -Please.

-Rasha.

Rasha.

-Hey sweetie.

How are you?

Rebecca?

This is Keren.

She'll take care of you while I'm out.

-Hey Rebecca.

-Rebecca,

I'm so worried about you.

Please talk to me.

-What's the point?

-Why do you say this?

-You never listen to me, Dad.

You only listen to yourself.

-That's not true.

That's not true.

-I found Rasha's mother.

-Who is Rasha?

-The girl whose doll you threw away.

This was her family house

until they disappeared during the war.

I found Rasha's mother in Bethlehem in Aida refugee camp.

She was going to give me a doll to give to her daughter

instead of the one you threw away.

-Rebecca, I can't believe this.

Please.

-I told you there was no point in talking.

I wish my mum was here.

She would at least believe what I have to say.

You only believe yourself.

I saw you with that woman.

You want to forget mum.

I don't.

Rasha saw you hide the dress from me and helped me find it.

I was only trying to make the pain easier for her,

the way she made it easier for me.

-Would you like some orange juice?

Let me get you a glass.

-I'll get it. -No, no.

You sit down. You should rest.

-Rasha.

Rasha, I found your mother.

Rasha, please answer me, I found her.

Please Rasha!

Rasha.

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum, Mum?

Mum, answer me!

Mum! Mum!

Mum, answer me, Mum!

Mum!

-Why didn't you come with her when she came to see me?

-I didn't know she was going.

I should have paid more attention.

She'll be happy to see you.

She's been sad for a long time.

It's not far to the check point.

- You have to go now.

-Help.

Help.

Help!

-I need a minute.

-Okay.

I'll go get Rebecca.

Keren.

Hey Keren.

- Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

-Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

-Call for help.

Now!

-Rasha, I found your mother.

I've been so worried for you.

-How did you know my name?

-I'm sorry, I thought I saw Rasha.

-I am Rasha.

-No Rasha, your daughter.

-Oh my dear.

I never had children.

I never married.

-But Rasha has been hiding in the well

since the war waiting for you.

-I hid in the well during the war,

but I never told this to anyone.

-You lost your doll in there?

-I did.

It was a beautiful doll.

My mother had made it for me.

-Hello little girl.

Let me have a look?

Can you follow this please?

Can you look at my finger?

You're a tough girl.

-It's okay.

Everything's okay.

Everything's okay.

-What happened here?

-Oh.

I brought this for you.

-Ma'am please come with us.

-No.

-Sir. She's our guest.

-I'm very sorry, but it's the law.

-No, she will not leave.

-Are you really doing this?

-Yes, sir. Let me do my job.

-She's not leaving.

-Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

-She's not allowed to be here.

You and your daughter, you cause me enough trouble.

-I will always be here.

You're a good girl.

Your mother must be proud.

-Did you ever find your parents?

-Their bodies were found at the side of the train tracks.

They were trying to find a way back to the house

to look for me.

-I'll keep this here for you.

Stop!

-Come here.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm proud of you.
