Israel, 2025, 70 min., Hebrew with English and Bulgarian subtitles, dir. Ido Weisman
At the southern end of Israel, behind the hotels of Eilat, lies the hidden trailer park “Sun Bay,” a refuge for those escaping their past. Facing evacuation, three residents struggle with loneliness: Eliezer (53), who moved to Eilat to reconnect with his father; Amir (45), a traumatized veteran seeking rehabilitation and a new home; and Tova (72), an English immigrant rebuilding her life away from her family. Together, they search for stability, belonging, and human connection.
