Filmed over two years, this intimate documentary follows the family of Eden Yerushalmi after she is kidnapped from the Nova Festival and taken to Gaza on October 7, and their public and private journey through uncertainty, struggle and devastating loss.
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Eden Yerushalmi and her best friend, Arbel, are dancing at the Nova Festival. Hours later, Eden is kidnapped and taken to Gaza while her sisters listen helplessly on over the phone. Her family’s story begins as a desperate plea for her return, and over time transforms into a painful attempt to rebuild after the devastating loss of hope.
This powerful two-year document of love, grief and resilience, which won an award for Best Israeli Debut Feature at the Jerusalem Film Festival, grants intimate access to Eden’s mother, sisters, and best friend Arbel as they fight to bring Eden home.
