With Shut Eyes
Before Uncle Evyatar knocks on their door, Abigail and her daughter Liat are both lonely and estranged from one another. But as soon as he walks into their tenement building apartment in Kiryat Shmona, things begin to change. The fact that Uncle Evyatar is a fugitive from justice makes what transpires between him and the two women during the time he spends with them only more dangerous, more riveting and more morally complicated.
