While her mother is undergoing surgery, the director documents the act of waiting. As time stretches thin, every passer-by and every gesture takes on a meaning. She examines whether she can control reality through the act of filming, but soon reality shatters her efforts and leaves the terrible waiting time in her hands.

Hadas Neuman
Hadas Neuman (Israel/Netherlands, 1984) is a BA graduate with an Honors scholarship majoring in script-writing and directing at Sapir College and an M.A graduate with distinction from the Netherlands Film Academy. Her short films ('Prove it', 'Goosebumps', 'Fairy on a roof' and more) and feature documentary ('The European grandma project', 2018) have been screened at global festivals, some of them won awards. She is a graduate of 2-years residency of Artists residency Wow in Amsterdam. Hadas’ latest experimental short documentary, 'Two people will come, with balloons', has won the Next! Award (WIP) at the DocAviv International Film Festival 2021.
Hadas is on a mission to find different ways in which she can use unpredictability as a narrative tool to reclaim the spectacle of everyday life and incorporate it into hybrid works that blend documentary and autofiction. She found that it touches her most inner place as a creator and leads her to tell only authentic stories that are at the core of people and events she encounters. At the same time, she turns her other tool, namely: the camera, into a confession, performance and storytelling instigator.
