Documentary

The story of a lesbian couple's move away from Israel and the problems they wish to leave behind. Joelle lived in Tel-Aviv for eleven years but tired of a city wrapped in violence. Sigal, hiding her true sexual identity from her family, needed to distance herself to be able to have a more complete life with her partner. Together they travel through Greece in search of a new home.The couple record each other throughout their travels, producing a video diary, each expressing her feelings as she observes the other. Their unfurling journey pushes them to question the very heart of their search, including essential dilemmas such as: “Where do I belong?” “What is home?” and “How can we be part of our families when we are different from them?”
