about the movie
The film follows Aharon (Shai Avivi, "The Chamber Five", "A Week and a Day") who dedicates his life to the care of his son Uri (Noam Imber, "The Commander"). The two live together in peace and harmony, far from everyone, with Aharon doing everything to protect Uri, a boy with special needs, from the outside world. But now, when Uri is growing up, it seems that the age has come when he should move to live in an environment suitable for people with similar needs to his. When they are on their way to the place that will be Uri's new home, Aharon feels that Uri is not ready for parting and the two change direction and go on a journey across the country - a journey that will change both of their lives, and bring Aharon to know his son and himself better.
