JONATHAN
Israel, 2005, 15 Min, Video, Hebrew, English Subtitles
Jonathan wants to be the “Little Mermaid”.
As a 4 year old boy he understands that it is nconventional, but Purim is his big chance to dress up and actually become the "little mermaid". Will it happen? How would his parents and twin sister react? And what would be the reaction of the children in his kindergartn?
Jonathans dilemma symbolizes our conflict - to live our fantasy versus the need to compromise, to relinquish and conform.
