Five short movies, linked by an animation, inspired by the life and work of Amos Guttman, the director from Transylvania who was a pioneer in Israeli gay cinema and died from AIDS in 1993. Produced by Tel Aviv Film Festival, it is a mixture of different styles and genres and is directed by six film-makers. In the last moving episode Kati Guttman celebrates his son, who passed away twenty years ago, and also recalls for the first time his own deportation to the Nazi death camps.

Kibbutz volunteering began in an eclipse. The idealistic and rebellious 1960s generation was charmed by the old communist ideology as it came to life in the Israeli Kibbutz. The 1967 Six-Day War attracted a wave of support for Israel that the Kibbutz Movement saw as a miracle. When travel agencies started selling “Kibbutz Volunteering” packages, it was clear that volunteering also became a profitable business. The Kibbutz found itself facing unfamiliar phenomenon – drugs, alcohol and marriage with non-Jewish volunteers.

Two men are walking down the street holding each others hands. Using interviews held by the director with men of his hometown Tel Aviv, this animated short investigates an intimate yet very public gesture. Who's into it? Who avoid at all costs? And how come a public admission of your sexual nature can mean a whole different thing in another culture.

An illustrated biography, employing the unique language of Ishihara test used for detecting color blindness.

An animated short film about a different era where the phone connected people to houses and caller id didn't exist.

Deep inside a municipal art museum, a single guard is the sole queen of a small exhibition. When she is forced to leave the room, her exile becomes a journey in search of a new home.
