EMPTY HANDED
DOCUMENTARY | ISRAEL | 2022
A film by Moriya Benavot
An intimate couple’s portrait follows my pregnancy from it’s very beginning. At 21 weeks we are told that our baby may have a serious disorder. We receive medical opinions and struggle to make a decision, until we do.
Between a simple dream of having a baby and us hitting
the shore of reality, hard, a film was born.
