Sweet Mud
Tuesday, April 1 • 07:30 PM • Clearview SOPAC
Sweet Mud, set in the 1970s, peels away the layers of folklore and romanticism associated with kibbutz life to reveal its underbelly. It is an intensely personal story, told through the eyes of 12-year old Dvir, who believes that he is the only one who can help his mother as she suffers from severe depression and mental illness.
