Synopsis

Introducing a non-conformist and unconventional woman who, in the name of uncompromising authenticity and art, gave up family and home, the film follows international artist Maya Gordon over a decade across Israel, Poland and the Netherlands. Throughout her search for home and love she meets, in an incidental yet uniquely moving encounter, a shell shocked war veteran. Will those two unsettled souls find peace of mind together? The film’s second axis introduces her extraordinary art that encapsulates her desires and longings and raises relevant questions about feminine and national identity, aging, love and self-realization.
