My Dream House
Through the stories of four families from different parts of Israel, trying to build their own “dream house,” the film attempts to discuss this elusive subject that is significant to so many people. Four families, four stories, and four houses make it possible to discuss the ideal house, the ‘house’ as a concept, as a memory, and as a kind of solution. The construction of the house forces our builders to deal with their identity, with their past, and with the strange hope that the house will make everything warmer and safer.
