New Jersey Premiere

This cleverly constructed debut feature of Director Omri Givon is a sensitive and haunting meditation on the trauma endured by terrorism survivors. Galia and her boyfriend Oren board a packed Jerusalem bus with a suicide bomber. After the explosion, Galia is left with severe burns and total memory loss of the day of the terrorist attack. Oren is knocked into a coma. The film begins one year after the attack, upon Oren's death. As Galia continues physical and psychological therapy, she attempts to stitch together the shattered fragments of her life and to find the missing pieces of the puzzle from that horrific day.
