Summer Nights
Israel, Switzerland2021documentary53'Bliscy (2022)
An oneiric story about fathers and sons. Alva is 6 years old, he is a curious boy, about to start school. Just before sleep, when the lights fade, he and his father are transported to the land of whispers. Difficult questions about life, God, love are asked in the darkness. In the background, there are memories of summer holidays and the first infatuation. It is the time of carefree play and last moments before adolescence. Filming these experiences enables the director to keep these conversations in his memory, the conversations that he did not have with his father.
