Same as ever

The gap between two distant realities that coexist side by side in Israel: a routine, everyday life, and a harsh reality in which hostages are still held in captivity. In this film, I seek to explore the meeting points between these two worlds, and to examine the concept of "routine" from three different perspectives —
 Our everyday routine that often encounters the subject of the hostages,
 The protest for the hostages that occasionally intersects with normal moments,
 And routine as seen through the eyes of the hostages themselves — and the ordinary moments they once had, before the disaster struck. Music and sound: Itay Spiegel Color grading: Yuval Aloni
