This film is an intimate contemplation of film director, Yehuda Sharim’s childhood home in Israel, where visits with his aging father are juxtaposed with the conflict and violence engulfing the Middle East.

The film tells the story of John, who, at 64 and still in prison, must navigate trauma and aging in a space that is not designed for a geriatric population. Like others, he faces the challenges of stairs, top bunks, food that is not made for human consumption, and the everyday risks of violence and exploitation. John’s story is a call and demand for compassion and justice.
