Asia

Israel 2020 | 85 minutes | Hebrew, Russian | Hebrew subtitles
Asia’s motherhood has always been an ongoing struggle rather than an obvious instinct. Becoming a mother at a very early age has shaped Asia's relationship with her teenage daughter Vika. Despite living together, Asia and Vika barely interact with one another. Asia concentrates on her job as a nurse while Vika spends time at the skate-park with her friends.
Their routine is shaken when Vika's health deteriorates rapidly. Asia must step in and become the mother Vika so desperately needs. 
Vika's illness turns out to be an opportunity to reveal the great love within this small family unit.

The Festival has decided to allow three Israeli productions to participate in the competition, although at the moment they will not be available online. We hope that if halls will be permitted to open, we will be able to show these films, we promise to update when this happens. In the meantime, you are invite you to enjoy the Festival's program with its dozens of excellent films.
