English subtitles.
20-year-old Sisai, Ethiopian immigrant in Israel, lives with his adoptive family - the
Gavros. Father Gavro returns from Ethiopia with news of Sisai's biological father's
whereabouts. Confused by the news and the fresh confrontation with his past, Sisai does
not share his family's excitement. He is too busy with his own news; Sivan, his
girlfriend, is pregnant. The director, who is also Sisai's brother, joins him and their
father on a journey to Ethiopia on their search for identity, blood connection, love and
longing.Screenings
