Original subtitles

Scene one,

Yoel, a robust 64 years old,

is floating with his eyes closed.

The sun has set, and there's no one on the beach.

He'll get out of the water and ride his bike home.

This is the new opening scene.

Did you like it, Dad?

Dad?

I understand your frustration,

I understand that you are under a lot of stress

and you want to get out of it.

I understand that you...

You say to yourself

that there are few things you can do,

but, as you will need to feed your unborn child,

if you go for it, you'll bring down the whole structure.

You can't allow yourself to to do anything,

you start to trust in the fact that...

You'll end up in a dead end

for lack of organization.

You don't know how to think.

You don't think about what you have, what you can do.

You're an adult, you have a family to support,

and that's what you can do.

-I've thought of everything. -You haven't thought of anything.

Every suggestion is childish.

It's not. And I can adapt the script to your current situation.

Don't answer me, I'm tired. Don't talk to me.

You tell me you want to be a Turkish movie director

and based his work in 1952,

in "Bicycle Thieves" or "Victims of the Storm",

shows that you are out of with the world,

in a world of your own.

I just wanted to record my conversation with you.

I've said several times that I don't want to.

-You don't have to act. -I don't want to.

Get a job. Leave me alone.

-Okay, but... -Let me...

Turn off the camera.

-Come on. -All right.

Yoel is on the beach,

he floats in the sea for hours like he used to in his childhood.

When you open your eyes,

you'll see that it's already dark and you need to go home.

Because, as prime minister of Israel,

I feel a great obligation

to talk to you about a subject

that could threaten the survival of my country

and the future of my people:

Iran's quest for nuclear weapons.

Hi, Gideon.

Yoel, I can't say why,

but you have to take Mom and the children

and leave Tel Aviv now.

THE DEATH OF CINEMA AND MY FATHER TOO

You don't even have time to your clothes.

Did you hear? Yoel?

Did you hear me?

Yoel?

Nina. Ninuchka, wake up.

-What? -Israel is going to attack Iran today.

I'm asleep.

Gideon warned that Iran will bomb us soon.

We have to get out of here.

Nobody is going to bomb anyone.

I went to the Ehrlich house, it's abandoned, they ran away.

Did you dream it?

This place is going to catch fire.

Stop it.

Hello?

Why are you calling so late? What happened?

Gideon said in two hours,

Israeli fighter jets are going to attack Iran.

Then it's better we'd all better get out of here,

including you and your son, and get to Jerusalem quickly.

-Is it serious? -Assafie, it's okay.

The Edelstein brothers have decided that there's a war on.

But why Jerusalem?

Because ever since Muhammad tied his donkey there,

that's a holy city.

Dad, have you gone mad?

-Give it to Mom... -Then hurry up and get Avivi ready...

Wait, Dad.

-I'll pick you up now. -But Avivi is with Zohar today.

Then pay for his cab, you cheapskate.

-Why aren't you answering me? -I didn't hear you.

Give me some water.

I thought Mom had convinced you.

Do you really think that your sick father

would you go up four floors if it wasn't an emergency?

Gideon doesn't mess around.

Neither do the Iranians

nor the Israel Defense Forces Forces.

The only clowns here are you and your mother.

Relax, this stress is not good for you.

Doctor, pack your bags, you have other responsibilities,

you have to pick up your child.

-Are you listening, Dad? -Yes.

"Israel Film Fund's response to your grant request.

-Reader: Libi Lat." -"Lee"...?

"Libi Lat".

She's a screenwriter and director, but she was a reader.

Right.

Yoel is the protagonist instead of Nathan.

Right.

"Yoel receives a phone call from reliable sources

informing him confidentially

that a war will start between Iran and Israel.

He decides to flee with his family to Jerusalem

because of the missiles, where he's waiting..."

"Missile launch"?

-"Because of the missiles..." -"Missile launch"?

-What? -No, never mind.

"Decides to flee Jerusalem because of the Iranian missiles.

That night becomes a family trip,

in which the viewer gets to know the members of this family

and its complex network of relationships.

All of this is wrapped up in in the famous Israeli paranoia,

which is sad and funny."

Now for her review.

"This script is good, complete, with consistent text,

it's cinematic and funny.

It's written with confidence

and keeps the tension and interest in the story..."

-"With confidence"? -Yes, "well written".

Okay, go on.

"...Israeli in the positive sense of the word.

A specific story

that sums up a national and personal paranoia equally.

It's a very mature script, and it was a pleasure to read."

Right...

"There should be an emphasis on the relationship between Yoel and Assaf..."

Assaf is my name.

"I will be specific in what I say..."

Are you with me, Dad? Dad?

-Good night. -Good night too.

Can you wake her up? It's urgent.

No, I can't.

Yoyo?

What are you doing here?

Yoyo.

We have to run.

Is it the Germans?

It's the Iranians, the Persians.

I understand.

Not there.

You little bitch.

Naughty...

Mom, we don't have time. We have to go.

-You've already said too much. -We don't have time.

What about the food?

What food? We have to get ready to leave.

It's important to eat too.

I want to see you live a day without food.

In 10 minutes, everything will be ready, okay?

We don't have 10 minutes.

The Jewish planes are already in Iran, understand?

-Did you understand? -I understand that my son is crazy.

Hello.

-Why are you here? -He didn't answer the phone.

He's just gone to sleep.

You didn't answer.

-So you came here? -Listen, the Iranians...

-We're attacking the Iranians. -What?

In 90 minutes, missiles will start falling here,

and there will be retaliation.

I know it sounds crazy, but it's happening. War.

So I want you to wake up Avivi,

and the three of us are going to get out of here.

If it were to happen, I would know.

It's confidential information.

Gideon called my father from the embassy in Washington,

is happening,

and I want you to take Avivi to get us out of here.

You and him are all I have.

Sorry, I don't like it

that you come here in the middle of the night,

threatening me with war.

And I don't like in front of the nursery with balloons.

I don't like it.

You said that I was arresting you.

Now I'm setting you free, like a little bird,

You have Tuesdays and Fridays.

I want you to go to Jerusalem with me now.

-Why? -It's sacred to Muslims.

Hold still. You're crazy.

There won't be any missiles,

you don't love me, and Avivi won't leave this house.

And if anything happens, we'll go down to the shelter.

But tomorrow I would pick him up anyway.

Then tomorrow you can play Noah's Ark with him.

But the war begins today.

You chose Tuesdays.

She's asleep.

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Dad.

-Do you want water? -No.

-I'll get you some water. -No. Come on.

-I'm going to give you a foot. -No, I got it.

I'll help you.

Okay.

Lift the other foot.

I'll hold you.

Soldiers.

I saw it, Mom, I saw it.

Behind the mountains,

has an air force base, Wing 2.

They're warming up the engines, you hear?

No, I didn't.

Couldn't hear it?

Yoel.

She ran away.

Mitzi, Mitzi.

Mitzi.

Mitzi?

Mitzi.

She's there.

Mitzi.

Let's surround it on both sides.

Naughty.

Dad.

Take this.

Got it.

Cut, cut, stop.

Avivi... Revive...

Mom.

What is it, darling?

Grandpa isn't feeling well.

Grandpa Yoel?

He was coughing a lot.

And they said it was preventing filming.

He's only your grandfather in the movie. He's a fake grandpa.

I know.

But I'm worried about him.

We're storing everything. Bring the things here.

Are you going home?

-What about your mother? -I'm going to get her.

Get Shirley Temple and his mother and leave.

-You're tired. -You're fine.

See you later.

-Do you want me to bring something? -No, Yoel, thank you.

Everything's fine.

Confirmed for next week?

Of course.

I know he has health problems.

No, it's fine.

-Really? -Yes, everything's fine.

The agency said that if they need to postpone,

need to give 48 hours in advance.

I know, but let's not put it off.

Okay.

-Are you all right? -Yes. Thank you.

-Good night. -Good night.

-Pepper sauce? -Yes.

-Yes? -Yes.

Hello?

Is he home? Is he all right?

Are you alone?

Hello.

I think you need to find another actor.

Of course not.

Can't you see he's not well for that?

He looked tired, so I stopped,

but I'll continue next week.

He almost fainted. He's in pain.

-Where? -In the stomach.

The chemotherapy?

No, metastasis.

-Why didn't he say anything? -He doesn't want to disappoint you.

At worst, we'll stop for a few days

and wait for everything to stabilize.

It won't stabilize, it will only get worse.

-I need to think. -There's nothing to think about.

The metastasis is spreading. Don't you understand?

It's over. Do you understand that?

The movie is over.

I can't talk now, Mom,

Hillel has just got the car.

We will help you pay the costs.

Harm reduction.

Sell that camera.

Let's talk tomorrow, okay?

How did it go?

Did your father catch the cat?

The stuffed cat.

You'd better shower before going to bed.

Do I stink?

You are.

A lot.

Don't pass the smell on to me.

-Go take a shower. -Is it that bad?

You are.

No problem.

We arrive at the Massada ramp, built by the Assyrian empire

under the command of the king's general.

Sennacherib was on a mission of conquest in the east...

in the western part of his empire.

He came here,

the city walls are a major obstacle,

are reinforced, very strong, as you can see,

the end of the hill there, in the distance, it's a very big place,

the second greatest of Judah, inside we have a passage...

Hello?

Hello.

Yes, I'm busy.

What happened?

Is everyone there?

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'm off.

King Hezekiah kept his reign,

has taken over this area.

About 100 years later, the Babylonians came...

I'll be out for an hour. Cover me there.

-Can I let you in? -Who came?

Everyone.

-Michael too? -Yes.

Let me in. Let's get this over with.

Come on in.

-All right, Dad? -All right.

-Hi, Yoel. -Hi.

-Can I? -Only you.

Are you in pain? You look...

The only thing that bothers me is my roommate,

who pissed on the toilet seat.

Sorry for ruining your movie.

No problem.

-Do you know why? -Why?

Why didn't you put Michael in the movie,

so his boss is angry.

I wrote a new scene for him. Very good.

Being in the movie wasn't easy,

my character was a divorced solo mother.

-Because you only gave me one day. -Is that why?

Exactly.

Would you like something to eat or drink? I'll bring your father some tea.

-I don't want to. -Also not. Thank you.

Michael, I'm not dead yet.

Everything's fine.

Dad.

The script for "The Night Escape" is no longer relevant.

Imagine a neorealist drama simple.

You and Mom at home, dealing with the whole situation.

Hi, Mom.

Your bag, Dani.

Thank you.

I told Dani a sad story.

-But Dani isn't sad. -"Dani doesn't get sad"?

-It won't stay. -Why?

I tell you real stories, and you talk nonsense.

"Don't be sad"?

Boring? Is it difficult for him to be sad?

No matter what you say, he won't stay.

Sorry, that's not true.

You were offended, son.

My son was offended.

One, two, police.

"THE FALLING MAN"

You don't have new messages.

Happy birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me

I'm falling.

THE FALLING MAN - NATAN ROSENBERG

NEIGHBOR - INA ROSENBERG

Put this in the cupboard.

I don't know why he decided to bake bread today.

What difference does it make? I decided.

"My friends, resisting Iran is not easy."

"Resisting dark and murderous regimes is not easy.

With us today, the Holocaust survivor..."

It was obvious that he would.

"Nobel Prize winner, Elie Wiesel."

Now he's looking for his roots. Help me up.

Just a second.

I'm going to try to pee,

then I'll come back to have my soup.

-Don't film. -I'm not filming you.

I told you.

-I'm filming the speech. -No, you're not.

Give me the tapes.

Can I answer?

You can, but keep it short,

because I said I'm not feeling well.

I couldn't eat, understand?

-I didn't want to give you food. -Right.

-He didn't want to feed me. -Listen.

Give baby food for your child.

I want you to know that I understand your frustrations.

-What do you mean? -What do you think happened to me?

What about?

I started working at N. Rosenberg Brushes,

but I'm superior to most of the people I know

in my ability to understand things

and their context.

When I was young, I was mired in debt

that my father threw on me.

I didn't do that to you.

Until I was 45, I had to accept that

and find out how to pay off debts

so I can stay with my family, right?

But you did it.

And what happened next?

The years go by, Dani, they never come back.

And as the years go by...

The years go by, they never come back,

and we need to be vigilant.

Dad, I'm very attentive.

That's why I want to film our life now,

after he came back from the hospital.

-Listen... Ina, Ina... -Stop, Dani.

Can we talk?

No.

-I stopped. -I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

-Okay, Dad, I'm going. -I don't care.

That's not...

Dad, I'm going.

I can't deal with it.

Wait for me upstairs.

I'm going. Relax, I'm coming.

Yoel has been discharged from hospital,

and now in the afternoon, the clouds cover the sun.

When they pass,

a ray of light will touch Yoel's foot,

he'll wake up without remembering where he is.

At the same time, Assaf, still trying to finish the movie,

walks back and forth in the garden.

Ninuchka.

What have you lost? a screw?

A filter.

-How much does it cost? -Very expensive.

How did you get here?

I was doing a long shot of the house.

-Still, how much does it cost? -A lot.

-How much? -A thousand shekels.

Did you throw two thousand shekels away?

It's here somewhere, it could have rolled there.

You don't have to following me.

You don't to lose filters.

What's that?

So I had another idea yesterday

for a very good at the end of the movie.

A few hours on a hill, you, Dudu and me, and that's it.

-What mountain? -I don't know. Let's find one.

Where?

I haven't found one yet.

-I see. -Where?

Two more steps, now kneel.

Do you want me to fall?

Can't you see it? Kneel down, it's there.

It means that piece of glass

costs 2,000 shekel?

That's right.

At least your eyes are still good.

What do you think of the scene?

I don't know. I'll think about it after the treatment.

In the meantime, I suggest that you stay with your wife.

Wait, help me.

Give me the filter.

Come slowly.

-Do you need anything? -No, thank you.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-So bye. -Bye.

Hello, Tammy, from Avner Initiatives?

This is Yoel Edelstein,

of your reform project disgraced

on the Street of the Six-Day War.

I know that the call is being recorded.

Then please record it.

I know that the building was built on public land,

but the tenants have a 999-year lease

and, according to according to Ottoman law,

that you know that still applies,

if the building is not built on a catacomb,

you will have to wait patiently until 2964.

And Blutinger won't help.

Didn't you hear me? I don't care about the elevator.

Because if they make two more floors,

the building will fall down.

But first Avner Initiatives goes bankrupt

because it's a crap company.

Bye.

Everything is fine

Everything you do is right, Mom

Everything is fine

Everything is fine

Everything you do is right, Mom

Everything is fine

Everything you do

That's right, Mom

Dad, stop moving, we're looking for focus.

Make me look good.

Do I look good?

-The most beautiful. -Wonderful.

-Is the sound ready? -Yoel, say something.

He has a house in New Orleans

which is called Rising Sun

and it's the misfortune of a poor boy

and God, the Lord knows that I am

Put it down, please.

But the treatment should help, right?

It's to relieve the pain, nothing more.

And whenever he a little still

you can hear him panting.

What if you scenes that already exist?

I can't, I filmed everything in order,

I have no end and no middle.

I set up a part, but it didn't work.

Nadine.

Are you all right? This is my good friend, Assaf.

Hello.

-It's a pleasure. -Assaf, this is Nadine.

She's a jazz drummer,

came to do a residency for six months.

Assaf is also a director.

He's filming a very interesting

with his family as protagonists.

And your father is a famous actor in Israel?

No, my father is not an actor,

I filmed him in a few movies, but in short films...

Short films.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Nadine, this is the friend I told you about.

From film school? Your only friend?

É. His father has cancer and it's getting worse.

There won't be a movie.

-Assaf. -What's up?

What's up?

-Everything. -Sit down.

Come here.

Can I take this chair?

I heard you hired the Arab girl, Luna.

-Life is like that. -But she's a great actress.

Don't eat that, Primo.

I'll meet her on Tuesday.

Maybe they want her to make "Topsy-Turvy".

What's the problem?

-It's my father. -What?

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Hold on.

The well-equipped kitchen.

Grandma...

He's making a cake.

Let's focus on her actions.

The cake...

That's Dana.

Dana.

-Hello, Dana? -Hello, Dani?

Dana.

Dana and Grandma.

Excuse me.

Now we're in the kitchen.

It looks like Grandma is working very hard.

The cake. Dana near Grandma.

Come on, children.

My father is looking at nothing,

he doesn't know where he is.

-Your father? -Yes.

This is how someone looks when you don't know where you are.

But that's my father, Grandma.

That's my father in the photo.

-It's my father, Nathan... -Yes.

And you, me,

my mother and my brother.

-Yes, I recognize him. -It's your son, Nathan.

-Do you remember him? -Yes.

It's your son, Nathan.

-Him? -É.

Yes, he has...

What's wrong with him?

There's something on his face.

What?

This makes you recognizable right away.

Who is this old woman?

What old woman?

Her?

Grandma, it's you.

At my wedding. She looked so beautiful!

And close to you, your son, Miki, from Boston.

Here?

This is Miki taking you to the Chuppah.

-Is this Miki taking me? -É.

I have no idea.

Of what?

I have no idea.

You can't tell me "This is Miki",

and I say "Yes, I remember him".

-Hello? -Hi, Dad.

Hello.

I'm not going to ask how you are, I know you're in pain.

Exactly.

-How are you? -Good. I'm listening to Mitzi.

Yes, she wants food. I'm not going to feed her.

Cool. I'll show you the wedding video.

Look, Dani... I'm not having a good day.

-Ok. -Let's do it another day.

I'll come by tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have chemotherapy.

I'm fine. You'd better go tomorrow.

É. We'll arrange it when I'm better, okay?

Okay, Dad. Sorry, Dad.

We'll talk tomorrow.

-All right. -Bye.

Can you hear it?

No, I don't hear anything.

Today I put on some music, and he danced.

Really?

Hello?

So what?

I didn't know I was in Israel.

I'm making progress,

I've already written some scenes for my mother,

a sub-story with her at home and also traveling,

so I'm going to film it.

And when my father is better,

I'm going to film it again.

I think it will be the same time.

He has never been so dedicated,

he's going through so much, and I'm going to film it.

Just a moment.

-It's Yoav. -Wait. -I want to tell him something.

-Yoav? -Hey, Zohar. What's up?

-I'm fine. And you? -Also.

Look...

-Give me the phone... -It's Saturday.

-I can't stand it. -It's Saturday.

-E... -Zohar.

Wait. Assaf and I are lying down,

and he's listening to his son in my belly,

then it's not time to talk.

-It's okay... -What do you mean, "okay"?

-Zohar, give me the phone. -No.

I won't give it to you.

I don't want to give you the phone, you abuser.

-Zohar, give me the phone. -I said no.

Assaf, can we talk later?

Don't let him hang up. Zohar, give me the phone.

The movie is very important to me as well.

It's everything to me.

And you should understand that more than anyone else.

Do you pay attention to what you say?

Presto. The living come first, then the dead,

and those about to be born.

I'm making a movie about my father,

the baby will be born later,

so let's base our schedule on that.

What do you think?

I think I was born 35 years ago, in case you hadn't noticed.

What does that mean?

It means, you idiot,

that if you carry on like this, I'll leave, I swear.

Then go. Do you think I care?

You know what? I'm going.

Yoav, I'm on my way.

Go. Go to your your parents' house.

My father is dying. Don't you see, Zohar?

Too bad he didn't teach you anything

before I die...

I'm sick of it.

-I'm leaving. -Full of what?

The baby?

-I didn't say that. -That's what I heard.

-That's not what I said. -But that's what I heard

-Hey, Yoel. -Hi.

Thank you.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

-Mom? -Yes.

Right. Action.

Siren.

No.

Cut, cut.

I cut it.

Mom, it's too dramatic.

And I can see you're not asleep, your pupils are moving.

They're like that, Assafie.

That's fine. The details don't appear.

Isn't it forced?

-We can try again. -Okay.

Let's do another take,

this time, be more relaxed, open your eyes, that's all.

-Are you all right? -Are you all right?

-We're getting there. -Let's go.

Ready?

-Open up a bit more. -No problem.

-That's it. -E...

Action.

Siren.

Blutinger, don't give me any stories.

Engineer, architect... Cut it out, Blutinger.

No, I'm going to ask the questions here.

Then answer me:

you signed the document, yes or no?

Thank you, Mr. Blutinger. Thank you very much.

-Want coffee? -Make it.

Listen. I have another idea.

I thought of that when you mentioned about the prime minister.

Imagine that you have known him for years

and that you were colleagues in the army.

He knows you're ill and decides to come and visit you.

And you're at home,

thinking about the next war with Iran.

And he realizes that he will only save his family next time

to prevent war from happening.

So I kill him?

Exactly.

So you tell him:

"Remember Oxford? We used to get high..."

But what did I study?

-What difference does it make? -It makes a difference to me.

Astrophysics.

No.

-History of the Middle East. -Okay.

The most important thing

is that you imply that you have a joint

for you to smoke like in the old days.

So I say to him: "Mr. Prime Minister,

remember how much fun we used to have at parties at Rachel's house?"

Then he understands and tells his bodyguards:

"Please get out of here.

We have to deal a delicate matter."

They leave,

but two bodyguards have to stay close,

then one leaves, and the other stays in the room.

You smoke, you get a little high,

tell a few jokes, until you tell him:

"Sorry,

I need to urinate, my prostate isn't what it used to be."

-Stand up. -Wait.

Stand up.

You go to the bathroom.

-Are you all right? -Yes.

But don't forget

that the bodyguard is still in the room.

Right. So I say:

"Hey, bodyguard, why are you so tense?

The Prime Minister and I have been friends for 30 years. Relax.

It's all right."

You roll him up like you did with Blutinger

and enter here.

What you need for the job is here in the bathroom.

-Is it a surprise? -É.

What?

Look, Dad. What movie does that look like?

-"The Godfather". -Exactly.

I hid a gun in the toilet.

I take the lid off, put my hand inside...

What's that?

You don't have a gun. Your mother got rid of it.

What? But she left you a note.

She writes:

"No surprises, Yoel, at least until you're dead.

Love, Nina."

Shit.

The prime minister is waiting.

-He'll end up getting suspicious. -What do I do now?

Nina's cake.

That's right. He's got the munchies.

-Yes, I'll go to the fridge. -That's it.

I take the cake...

I'm looking for the knife.

"Yoel, do you need any help?"

"No, Mr. Prime Minister, I'll take care of it, thank you."

"I haven't eaten all day."

He's busy with...

-Don't peek. -Okay.

He's busy reading secret messages.

-"The head of the GSS wrote..." -I approach.

And I stabbed him in the back.

I take him by surprise and stab him in the stomach.

You hold me and I fall.

-Then the bodyguards come in... -And they shoot me.

But no, Dad, like a panther, you escape the bullets...

-No, no, no... -And run away.

No. One comes from here... No, from here.

And they shoot me. Boom!

Then two more come in and shoot me...

Then I fall and die.

That's it. The end.

A MOVIE BY DANI ROSENBERG

WITH NATAN ROSENBERG

"MR. A'S MATINEE"

I was thinking about Igal Naor.

You know Igal Naor, don't you, Gili?

A great actor.

-A big guy, a bit fat. -Not so fat.

Igal Naor?

So I could be thinking someone else.

Igal Naor, Mom, you know him. He's a Hollywood and theater actor.

He played of Saddam Hussein.

Oh yes, I know who it is...

-What do you think? -It could be good.

-Could you play my father? -Yes.

I know who it is. I mistook him for someone else.

Maybe I'll let my father choose the cast.

Who will play you?

I don't know, I'll find someone...

It's serious.

Who will play Gili?

I've changed a lot... It's not what you read.

The script was criticized

for not being dramatic enough,

so I decided to make you a reborn Jew.

Okay.

Star of David.

Iron Dome.

Darling.

I'm going, I'm going.

-Hi, Mom. -Hi.

What's up?

-More or less. -What?

Your father looks terrible.

What did the X-ray show?

Bad news. The tumor is spreading.

What tumor? In the liver?

There's a fluid in the stomach cavity.

-But there is hope in chemo... -Yes.

It's the only thing that can help.

Yesterday he felt better than the day before,

but today it's terrible.

-There's a snail here. -A snail? A snail?

Don't throw it away.

Snail.

-Put him down. -What?

Put it on the floor.

We're such idiots...

Bringing your father chrysanthemum from the street.

Wow, what a beautiful shot!

-What do you mean? -You look beautiful.

Let's have some time alone after the hospital?

What do you mean?

Yes, we'll have time.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

"Listen,

their story is where we were deported.

And that doesn't mean that we have our own territory.

On the contrary, their homeland, their family, their home, their speech

trap us in closed spaces.

Their property is our exile,

the fences, the death of our love.

Their words, our gag."

Cool.

Why did you think it was "cool"? Did you understand it?

I get it. It's a powerful text.

I'm sorry, Tylenolie, your father is an idiot,

he says he understands, but he doesn't understand anything.

What was I supposed to understand?

I've had enough of your looks.

And a couple who get married young and go on a trip at dawn

not interesting enough as a story?

How many times do you have to talk about it?

You said you only had two free hours.

Because I don't want to to be part of your story.

-You don't know how to write to me. -And you do?

Better than you, yes.

Right, Lena Dunham, what would you write?

-What an idiot! -What would you write?

Write down what I say.

Okay? It's going to be the best scene of the movie.

Right, I'm recording.

I understand that it's a new technique.

-Command. -Press "record".

Inside, during the day, outside, whatever. Right?

Private gynecological.

Women are waiting service.

Some are waiting for nuchal transluscence,

others, complete ultrasound.

She's going to take a test to show...

We see them waiting.

A woman is standing waiting for her husband.

She's going for a test to show

if the fetus has Down's syndrome.

She looks at her cell phone

and sees that her husband is late.

She calls him, but his cell phone is off.

The doctor leaves the office

and says: "Mrs. Edelstein, come in."

The woman says to the doctor:

"My husband will be here soon. Can you wait?

I'm afraid to go alone."

The doctor says she can, and they wait.

She calls again,

but gives up after the fifth time

because she's embarrassed that he doesn't answer.

The woman accepts her fate and enters the office.

The scene doesn't end there.

In the corridor, waiting to see the doctor,

a frightening thought occurs to him,

that maybe it's not so bad to find out

that the baby has Down's syndrome,

because it could be to escape from her husband

who forgot his appointment.

And that thought moves her so much,

and then she starts to think the opposite,

to hell with him,

that it's better for the baby not to have Down's syndrome,

she hopes that he doesn't have Down's syndrome,

that he is well and healthy because she wants the fetus,

but she doesn't want that stupid man

who forgot his appointment.

-Stefan. -All right, Yoel?

Can you give me a lift?

-Good days and bad days. -Don't tell me!

Is that a camera? Is it filming us?

Dude, are you filming us?

I'm doing general shots by Kfar Blum.

What for?

I'm directing a promotional movie

about the kibbutz.

-Fuck the kibbutz! -I don't want them to see us.

I just need for this kibbutz to see me.

And I can cut that out in the edit,

I've been filming for hours families, children...

-Don't film. -Filming children?

No... Children, women...

Anyone swimming in the river.

Not us.

Why not? It's a great shot.

The light is all around you.

How are you, Dad?

I'll be fine, Assaf.

Can you tell me how you're feeling?

You look...

Give me a break, will you?

Assaf, how much are they paying you for the movie?

I had never won so much...

They gave me a hotel room.

Great.

What are you filming?

A promotional film about Kfar Blum.

Cool. Good luck.

FATHER

Another opinion, we can try another country,

we meet people...

You've never looked like this, you look very...

All right, Assaf.

Tell me something you really feel,

you seem to be...

-Tell me how you feel, Dad... -Forget about it.

-Hello. -Hi.

Nice to meet you, Yiftach.

You must be the...

Oh, no... I'm the client's brother.

-The client is in the shower, come in. -Thank you very much.

-Do you want some water? -Yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

That is...

Here you can read

about the services we offer.

-All right. -The process.

-Right. -Here you can see...

Is it Freud?

Freud, Albert Einstein, Paul Newman, Amy Winehouse.

The one who sings...

No, no, no

Exactly.

Our father continues...

Our father continues...

Our father continues...

Our father continues...

It's a pleasure, Yiftach Sharvit, from Autumn Leaves.

Where do I sign and how much is it?

Let me introduce you to our service, we have many options.

No need, I read it on the website, I understood everything.

I know, but before you sign the document, by law...

Look, Gideon, it's like in the US, you're afraid of being sued.

Maybe we should sit down...

After you die,

your eldest son will call our agents,

we'll send an ambulance,

the process will take two days,

there we will contact the eldest son

to collect the ballot box.

-Unless you want the ring. -The ring?

Yes, we also offer storage

a little bit of ash in a diamond

and put on a ring

if the widow or a relative wants to use it.

We call it the "Ring of Eternity".

That's in addition to the ballot box, and for an additional fee, of course.

Ninuchka, do you want me in a ring?

Not at all.

-We don't want to. -Right.

We just need your signature here.

That's it,

and you can find our range of urns here.

This one is...

Nina, are you all right?

-Nina? -I'm fine.

Stay down. Gideon, get some water and coffee.

-What about a pillow? -Get out, Eichmann.

It's getting in the way.

-It's a pleasure. -Ina. Nice to meet you.

-You must be... -His son.

-It looks like it. -Is that so?

And you're his wife? It's a pleasure.

Dr. Daniel told me the whole story,

I just wanted to know why you're here today.

I was feeling very bad.

What did you feel?

I couldn't drink or eat.

I was in pain,

and the pain wouldn't let me sleep.

Where does it hurt?

It's hard to say.

It started with stomach pain, that's where it's centered.

Right.

He couldn't walk. He came in a wheelchair.

I can't walk because I can't stand up.

Got it.

You saw Dr. Mishaeli. What did he say?

Dr. Mishaeli...

Today I had appointment,

and I said I'll stop.

You said you're going to stop treatment?

I got tired.

I'm tired of this game.

That's why I want to make sure that you understand...

I made that decision a year ago.

What did you decide a year ago?

That I don't want to suffer.

Okay.

Right.

The decision is yours.

No one can decide for you,

we are here to offer guidance and help...

Right. I understand.

I shouldn't...

It shouldn't be like that.

Please, Nina.

-We're going to have a grandchild. -Don't do that.

Isn't it nice to have a grandchild?

Who won't meet you?

Who won't have a grandfather?

We are following the crossfire

between the Iranian and the Israel Defense Forces.

Hello?

Hello.

We've just arrived from the hospital.

We're going up.

I'll get back to you. Bye.

Turn on the light.

Yoel, how are you feeling?

Well, Mrs. Blutinger.

Let's sign the appeal.

Considering this.

How nice...

-All the best. -Thank you.

-Open the door. -Are you all right?

It's all right. Come on.

No, it's not good, it doesn't fit.

It's very big.

It's too fast. Hold on. Hold it.

It's too chaotic. Too big.

Do we need something more refined, more delicate?

-Think of a man... -Perhaps in C minor?

Think of someone walking through the rain slowly...

It's no bigger.

Did you like the song?

It's my wedding klezmer, they charged cheaply.

I couldn't care less.

I told him to stop filming and sell the camera.

The story is perfect so far, isn't it?

Look, I understand your frustration, you want to finish the movie,

but he's about to to become a father,

and your priority should be what's best for the baby.

Dad, I thought about it.

You haven't thought of anything, your speeches are childish.

Look, Dad...

I have an idea for a great scene,

happens at the end of the trip,

when we know there will be no war,

you climb a hill,

and Gideon tries to convince him to return home.

Assaf, people go to the movies to see actors,

not your father

in a story

that has nothing to do with me.

Look, Dad,

if you don't like the script, we can change it.

-Assafie, it's late. -I'm not going anywhere.

Nina, get this man away from me.

Why don't you listen to me?

I don't want to hear it. I've had enough of you.

Enough.

Just listen to me.

I don't want to hear it, don't you understand? It's over.

No, I don't understand.

My liver is falling to pieces, understand?

Wow, what a surprise!

That's why I'm making the movie, don't you understand?

That's enough, Assaf. I'm taking you home.

What will it help with?

For him to fall here,

and you call me to tell me that he's dead?

That's enough.

Time is passing. Our time is passing.

And I want to film to have the recording...

What recording? From where?

You're filming on DVDs,

which will be obsolete in two years.

"Recording".

They've stopped doing that. Don't you know?

The last factory that produced them

was destroyed in the Japanese earthquake.

What was his name?

Honsho.

Okay, let's do it.

-One plug and that's it. -All right.

-We just have to be precise. -I just don't understand...

What...

What does Gideon want from me now? Why am I talking to him?

You're trying to call to Gideon,

but there's no signal,

that's why you're on this hill.

Got it.

Remember this... Dad, wait.

This is after he told him that the Iranians won't attack,

that no one will bomb us.

And that you...

He took us on this trip for nothing.

And where's your mother and everyone else?

My mother... My mother will wait downstairs.

I'll film it next time from your angle.

Got it.

I think this is a good place. It's quite high up.

You wanted a silhouette at dawn, and here it is.

Go find the team and get ready.

But be warned.

I'm going to shout "action", and you start.

Are we ready to shoot?

We need two more minutes.

At any time.

Ask him to wait.

-Dad. Dad, wait a minute. -He's starting.

All right, start rolling.

-The memory card is full. -Father.

Dad. Stop.

Now I'm listening.

We're all here, safe.

Yes, your mother too.

They're sleeping in the car downstairs.

According to Waze, we are in Jordan.

Gideon, don't try to control me.

Don't do that,

no one will control me as long as I live.

It's so beautiful here, Gideon! Sorry. Bye. Bye, Gideon.

-I won't make it through the night. -What?

I don't think I'll make it through tonight.

Don't say that.

-Why, Dani? -What?

Why not say that?

Because it will pass.

-What? -It'll pass tonight.

I wanted to tell you one thing.

What?

-I spoke to Roni last night. -E?

And she likes the name "Yonatan".

Wonderful.

That's your name too,

and you can say that there are Natans in the Rosenberg family

for generations.

Why?

-Your grandfather's name was Nathan. -Right.

And from what I remember,

his grandfather was also called Nathan.

That's good. Good, good.

You can't do anything, Dani.

I want to be with you. Don't tell me what to do.

-It's hard for me. -For me too.

But I want to be with you.

-I know. -So...?

Do you feel pain?

Do you want me to ask the doctor more morphine?

No, Dani, it's not really pain.

What are you feeling?

-What? -What's that?

How can you describe it?

I don't know.

-Hi. Good morning. -Good morning, Lida. It's Dani.

I have some bad news.

My father died yesterday.

-What? -É.

É.

-I'm sorry. -Thank you.

He was sick and didn't want to tell you.

I didn't know.

He didn't want you to worry.

-Please don't tell... -What are we going to do?

Don't tell Grandma anything for the time being.

No, no, Bina... It's for me.

That's why my father didn't want to meet her.

He didn't want her to feel any sudden changes, you know?

And he asked my mother and me to find her

because he didn't want to find her.

She woke up and said:

"I saw my son, I spoke to him just now."

Yes...

So I think it's best if she doesn't know so as not to make her sad.

We don't want to make you sad.

Sorry to break the news to you, Read.

I'm sorry.

Yoel's ashes were scattered in Promontory

as he asked.

Two months later, Zohar had the baby.

Two years later, she and Assaf separated.

Assaf continued working on the movie.

He looked for someone to replace his father

and, when he found he started filming again.

No, take it to the kitchen.

We don't need that. I want this corner empty.

-Shall we wait for him? -No, the light is fine.

It's good.

Where's the actor?

-Did anyone call him? -I did.

What's taking taking so long?

Apart from that, are we ready?

-Hello? Hello? -Ready?

Hello? It's Assaf. What's up?

-Remember we're filming today? -Can I get some water?

Don't tell me!

So where are you?

-Say what you see from the window. -Be careful.

Do you see a park?

We're near a large park.

-Right. Is it on your right? -Good.

He'll be there in 5 minutes.

Right. Right.

Right, good.

If you get lost, call me.

Excuse me, we have to close the door.

TO YONATAN, MY SON
