A film which stands out for its strongly unique and catchingly interesting author´s vision. From an extremely tiny yet disturbing detail in a human body begins a long intellectual-philosophical journey which starting from the Bible gives a close look into many important current problems leading up to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The experimental and eclectic visual language chosen by the author, using drones, webcam and a shaky handcam, serves the purpose of giving the viewer an idea about the human-nature relationship from the most unusual and fresh angles. Everything is connected to everything else but in the most unexpected way. The way the film is edited speaks volumes about a brave director's vision which does not let any common conventions of filmmaking stop its blooming.
