The Prodigal Son
Israel, 2007, 45 min, Hebrew and English, English and Hebrew subtitles
 
In 2000 my 25 year old brother, Kathriel, left the "Hebrew Israelite Community" in Dimona, and went to live in Tel Aviv. I follow my brother, trying to get to know him; trying to understand if he chose to leave or if he was expelled. I also try to restore his faith in our community – despite my intense desire to follow his path to independence.
And thus, while my brother is busy finding his new life, I stay behind and fantasize about that way of life.
