Dani Bassin is a popular singer in Israel. Baba luba follows him on his journey back to Brazil, his native country, 36 years after his father left him and his mother there. Since he was four years old Bassin has not heard a thing from him. When Bassin and the film crew arrive in Brazil they have very few leads concerning his father's whereabouts, they do not even know whether he is still alive. They undertake a real search, which has been captured on film with the suspense of a detective story. Bassin discovers a police file on his father and he finds out that his father has twice remarried. He meets family members of whom he never knew they even existed. Finally he meets his father. Director Julie Shles has managed to register both the exciting and dramatic episodes of the trip, as well as the moments of despair and agitation. This also makes the film a universal study of the ideas about fatherhood and family ties and the search for love that every human undertakes.

At first glance, Enya Aharoni seems like an ordinary teenager: she rides her bike, goes on dates, posts selfies on social media, and loves shopping. However, there's one catch — since the age of 15, Enya has been battling a cancerous condition — thyroid cancer. The film by Reuven Yamrom and Haim Eliyahu is a restrained and honest first-person account of how the young protagonist confronted the need for lifelong therapy, endured a complex surgery and post-operative radiation with numerous side effects, and had to grapple with the fear of death and societal ostracism in a culture where it's not common for the young to be ill.

In March 2020, at the very beginning of the kovid pandemic, filmmaker Boris Mafzir conducted a series of online interviews with Israelis who emigrated from the Soviet Union in its final year. What was life like for this generation of Jews? What did it mean to be a «Soviet Jew"? And how did the «fifth point» — the nationality column — define and subordinate the entire social, professional and personal life of Soviet Jews? From these conversations, from the analysis of chronicles and newspapers, the story of the last generation of Soviet Jews is woven together — and the environment in which they had to live becomes clear.
