ANA MITHLI

Rafi gets pulled into a family meeting in the middle of the night. Within the walls of the house, the night escalates rapidly, and everyone is forced to confront truths that shake the entire house. Rafi comes to the realisation that in order to find freedom, he must first be free in his own home. He decides to come out then and there. His parents react with denial and anger, but with the support of his siblings, they are forced to face the truth—they must accept him for who he is.

DOCKOR (DOLLS)

During a family visit to her lonely grandmother’s manor, the shy girl Viktoria is unwillingly caught up in her oppressive mother’s plan to sell the house. Grandma offers Viktoria an old doll, hoping to form a warm bond between them. Viktoria accepts the doll and, in doing so, protects Grandma while standing up to Mom. However, Viktoria soon realises that Grandma is actually a calculating witch with a supernatural plan to make Mom forget her daughter and trap the girl’s soul inside the doll.
