Atlit

Israel, 1995. With the peace process in full swing, Cali meets with her sisters, Darel and Asia, in order to sell the house they grew up in: a piece of paradise in Atlit. They quickly start quarrelling and old tensions resurface. In addition their parents insist on having their say: four years after their deaths, they randomly appear to fix the electricity, offer mariage counselling and generally weaken their daughters’ resolve regarding the house. On the 4th November, Yitzhak Rabin’s sudden assassination causes the sisters to further question their motives. What will become this house in a country where the future holds no promise of peace ?
