In December 1987, the (first) Palestinian Intifada broke out and the Occupied Territories were set alight with a mass wave of demonstrations, protesting the ongoing Israeli occupation – the largest scale, longest-running ones seen in the area since 1967. The IDF was sent in to quash the uprising and before long, TV screens across the country were inundated with footage of burning tyres, stones thrown about, and baton-wielding Israeli soldiers chasing after teens and children. In the face of this new reality that made the question of the Occupied Territories the single most pressing issue of the time, the Jerusalem Film Festival went ahead and commissioned the following project. The result is a classic, Heffner-esque film – an intelligent labyrinth containing the most fundamental of Israeli tropes: The Holocaust; Arabs; us vs. them – all of which find themselves clashing and intermingling, and ultimately rendering the viewers helpless and cringing with awkwardness.

The story starts from a corner of the park, then the film crew takes viewers to a family with great tragedies. The question that the filmmakers asked can also be a question for each of us: "I came to Son and his family many times, many days, until this small movie ended. I still haven't I completely understand why and how these people can overcome the rapids of life in such a simple and leisurely way. Is it because of faith? I'm not sure yet. Or is it because they know respect? peace in the spiritual life of a human life?"
