Popularno From Israel

A deep and sensitive look into the story of a boy who insists to follow the wishes of his heart as he grows up and tries to develop his sexual identity.

They say that the Eurovision Song contest is the gay Mondial, but if you ask Rita, Leon and Daniel, they would prefer that the entire country cross fingers for 'Douze Points' for Israel. The film follows Asaf, a Eurovision fan, who is trying to get accepted into the 'Eurovisionist' community via the three members, Rita, Leon and Daniel. During his journey, Asaf finds out about their way of life, about the changing effect of the Eurovision Song Contest on it over time and the encounter between the glittering Eurovision world and Israeli reality nowadays.

The stories of Eitan, Yigal and Miri show how long the past can cast its shadows. Their Holocaust-surviving parents were abused by the Nazis, then became abusers themselves—their fear and grief transformed into aggression and anger towards their children. For the first time on-screen, children of Holocaust survivors talk openly about the mental and physical suffering they experienced. Stories of abuse contrast with cheerful-looking black-and-white photos of the families. Even the grandchildren appear to be suffering from their parents’ burden of sorrow and pain. The children's attempt to talk about the past, as with Eitan and his ailing mother and Miri with her son, seem futile. The palpable inability to make contact is almost unbearable. Shadows asks the unavoidable questions: how long will the Holocaust continue to exert its evil influence on future generations, and how can the demons of the past be exorcised?

A sensitive video journal, it paints a painfully touching picture of real life in Israel, portraying the subtle interdependence between family and society, and the need to overcome separation.
