Documentary
2024, 67 Min., Israel, Hebrew with English Translation

Three generations of the Gad family physically survived the devastating assault by Hamas on October 7th. This intimate documentary begins just two days after their rescue from the massacre, capturing the family’s painful struggle with shock, trauma, and grief at both personal and communal levels. Every family member copes differently with the aftermath. Their closest friends were either murdered or abducted, their homes lost, yet they continue to fight for the survival of Be’eri’s community while struggling to avoid despair. Despite their fears and anguish, a sliver of hope glimmers in the eyes of each member, from grandparents to grandchildren. As they muster the will to restore the once lush, green kibbutz they fled from under fire, one question remains: Will they ever return to Be’eri?
