Directed by Sivan Levy, Emil Ray, Yoav Inbar, Ronny Almog, Yoav Brill and Stephanie Abramovich

With Sivan Levy, Rivka Michaeli, Smadar Kilchinsky, Poly Reshef and Gila Goldstein

Five short movies, linked by an animation, inspired by the life and work of Amos Guttman, the director from Transylvania who was a pioneer in Israeli gay cinema and died from AIDS in 1993. Produced by Tel Aviv Film Festival, it is a mixture of different styles and genres and is directed by six film-makers. In the last moving episode Kati Guttman celebrates his son, who passed away twenty years ago, and also recalls for the first time his own deportation to the Nazi death camps.
