At the age of ten, during a family meal at the Maxim restaurant in Haifa, Oran Almog was injured in an explosion caused by a suicide bomber. He loses his father, his brother, his grandparents, his cousin, and his eyesight. Here starts his new life as he adapts to the terrible reality that took away all that is dear to him.
Oran inherited the love for the sea from his grandfather, and he dreams of establishing a sailing center in his memory, a center that will allow him to keep developing as a blind mariner. Many difficulties pile up on his way to adulthood, symbolically marked by the celebration of his Bar-Mitzva, but Oran is not a quitter.
This is the story of a young teenager whose life was diverted from its course, as he tries to find a way to make his dreams come true and live a normal lie. The movie captures Oran's daily life and illustrates the way he deals with the world that surrounds him, without seeing, and supported by a family torn to shreds, trying to pick up the pieces and move on. |
