Synopsis

Amir reflects on his identity as a Jewish man living in Germany amid the war in Gaza. He questions whether he can express a critical view of the conflict or if he must show unwavering support for Israel. The film uses infrared imagery to create a contrast between the visible and the invisible. Noise-cancelling headphones provide a moment of silence, allowing Amir to focus inward. The documentary runs for 14 minutes and was released in 2024.
