Summary Sassy, poignant and full of heart this is a compassionate, off-beat comedy about life, death and friendship. Ezikiel and his friends at a Jerusalem retirement home build a euthanasia machine to help their terminally ill friend. When rumours of the machine begin to spread, more and more people ask for their help, and the group is faced with an emotional, ethical dilemma. Not least when Ezikiel's own wife Levana asks for help. Winner of multiple awards at the **Venice Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"Israeli filmmakers Tal Granit and Sharon Maymon tackle matters of life and death with a bracing mixture of seriousness, sentiment and sharp black comedy." - Philippa Hawker, **The Age (Australia)***
