Title: ha-ʻOlam hu shemuʻah
Description: "Jonathan, an Israeli writer haunted by the death of his best friend, embarks on a journey with his young son. They ascend a mountain where, according to the rumor, lives a man of rare talent: in his ability to take memories away from people. But on the mountain, a mystery is revealed to Jonathan that is related to his past and the great loves of his life. And so, instead of the memories disappearing, the past invades the present as well. Jonathan creates rich imaginary worlds for his son, like the ones he created as a child, and together they surrender to them with great passion, perhaps too great. Does Jonathan bring back characters from his past and bring them into his son's life? The answers may be hidden in Jonathan's tumultuous relationship with his father and in the triangle of love and betrayal that has accompanied him since childhood. The search will lead him to places he did not intend to reach and endanger the integrity of his family, but may also signal hope for healing." --
