Our take
Cleverly weaving together several parallel stories, showrunner Dalit Kahan paints a picture of the anxieties of our times, exploring what links together modern individuals in today’s society. Performing in the role herself, she gives life to the unforgettable character of a homeless woman, the true beating heart of this story that bears the scars of a fractured Israeli society and of a humanity that has forgotten itself.
