It’s a Matter of Hours or Days
International Short Film Contest 51 ED. 2023

Israel 2022 25' Fiction Debut
In a hospital, late at night, a daughter wakes up from a dream about her father’s death. Upon discovering that her death is indeed imminent, and that it has been decided to sedate him, she flees from her mother who seems apathetic, and ventures into the dark corridors in search of the “answer” to a question that torments her: will it really be the end? And in doing so, completing the most difficult task of all: accepting and letting go.
