Storyline
26 women, who have directed feature films in Israel, share stories from the director’s chair. From the first directors – Elida Gera, to those who work in the present. They resonate, collide, disconnect and connect with each other. Their stories create a film-like quilt of different and similar women, and they provide us with a multi-reflection magic mirror and the face of someone who seeks to make her voice heard in space.
