About film
You lack inner peace, I can see it in your eyes... Filmmaker Moran Ifergan heard this unexpected remark by the Wailing Wall, from a woman visiting Jerusalem. When her marriage falls apart, Moran goes to the women's side of the Wall and spends her entire days in a place where private and public, sounds and images, God and His absence become one.
