Winner, Artistic Achievement Award at the Haifa Film Festival.

Imagine a world without men for eight long months. This was the reality for women during the Yom Kippur War. Through a poignant collection of memories, the film explores how they carried the weight of a nation on their shoulders in the Israel of the 1970s.

By weaving together the voices of leaders like Golda Meir and Egypt’s First Lady Jihan Sadat with those of ordinary women, it offers a fresh and deeply human look at the civilian price paid behind the front lines.

Screening followed by a live zoom Q&A with director Smadar Zamir.

 

“Zamir’s film explores the past, yet in its own way, it speaks volumes and takes a vital stance on the present.”
Ynet

“Relatable, full of humor and emotion, fast-paced, delightful, and thought-provoking.”
