Twilight of a Life

Twilight of a Life

Sylvain’s mother is 95 and the doctors have given her only weeks to live. But she’s not giving up easily: an eternal optimist, she refuses to accept the result, and “decides” to hang around for a while longer. Sylvain visits her every day, and she spends those visits imparting her wealth of knowledge and inspirational teachings on life upon her devoted son.

Winner of both Best Israeli Film and the Director Award at the Docaviv Film Festival.
