Synopse
A quiet quest that tries to express in pictures the speechlessness in the face of violence. Dar is a teenager. She survived the attack of October 7th on the kibbutz she grew up in. Her mother was taken hostage and the daughter has had no information about her since then. She sets out for the ruins of the kibbutz in the hope of at least finding her dog. Dar roams through the rubble and comes across a few individual survivors, soldiers and journalists. With the gathering storm of war and the catastrophe of Gaza before her, the girl tries to make sense of the brutal world she has been thrown into.
