A family of five, their two goats and donkey, live in the middle of nowhere, not far from their native village. When the father decides to provide running water for the family by illegally diverting water onto their land, the newly free-flowing water re-awakens the instinctive desire for freedom they have been repressing all these years, causing a rift in the family. A new digital copy restored by the Israel Film Archive at the Jerusalem Cinematheque, in collaboration with the film’s director and cinematographer.
