In eloquent vignettes, Karnit Goldwasser and her family and acquaintances describe the effect of living with such unknowns, forming an overall narrative that demonstrates significant insight.

Lost Islands posterLost Islands (Iim avudim)

Lost Islands becomes quite moving in its latter stages - particularly in its depiction of the relationship between Erez and his father. There is a remarkable quality to both of these actors, and they generate an authentic and touching relationship in spite of the trauma they suffer.
