Israeli movie “Epilogue” will be shown in the framework of Tbilisi International Film Festival on December 7, at 22:00 at "Amirani" movie theater.
Amir Manor’s movie is about an elderly couple who find it hard to adjust to today's Israel and to the social changes surrounding them. After years of struggle, the two refuse to let go of their dreams and their revolutionary plans to build a welfare state in Israel. Over the course of a painful night of disillusionment, the two decide to leave their apartment for one last journey.
"Three years ago I lost both my grandparents to cancer. They were both, in my mind, examples of the greatness of the human spirit. They left a huge void. To the pain of their departure, more pain was added, when I saw how, in their hour of distress and anguish they were forced to come to terms with the illusion of their most cherished beliefs. The solidarity nurtured by their lifelong work was swept away by personal interests. This is not just a personal story. The film presents a painful portrayal of old age in Israel. Feelings of transparency, loneliness, of being a burden, trampled honor, and a lack of any sense of belonging, combine to create great distress stemming from society's attitude towards its past and its founders.”, - Amir Manor says.
The Israeli Film Academy award winning movie will be shown in Tbilisi with support of the Embassy of Israel to Georgia.
