On October 7th, my sister was murdered.
She was at the "Nova" music festival.

I spoke to her before she disappeared -  She said they were shooting at her and that her friend had died in her arms.

She refused. "You dont come near here; they'll kill you too" she said.

I told her to hide and to escape .

She wrote back that she loved me. 

And then, she stopped responding.

I needed to create a reality where I could be with her again. To hug her one more time.

 I realized I had to get this out of my head, or I would remain trapped between the fantasy and the dry, detached retelling of the story, again and again.

Our wish is that through this film, anyone who has experienced such a loss will feel like they can embrace their loved one one last time.
 And for the observer, it will be an opening—a window into the heart of grieving
