53rd International Short Film Days Oberhausen

By a blunt description the film opposes the process of denial in a small Croatian city after the war. Without an examination of the truth darkness will prevail in this place.

A revealing allegory of the Arabic-Israeli conflict achieved by the simplest devices.

A Russian foreign worker in Israel is confronted with vanishing memories of his home country. In a muddled moment he succeeds by a surprising action in laughing together with his wife at the telephone.
Delightful, humane and full of love – a convincing debut film.
