Flower

It was a chance encounter, unexpected and jarring for both women. Anna, a photographer, arrives at Tel Aviv Old Central Bus Station as part of an artistic project and offers a ride to Eileen, nicknamed “Flower,” a young homeless woman, drug addict, and sex worker. A deep mutual curiosity leads them to initiate further meetings, and the two embark on a road trip through the dark and violent backstreets of Tel Aviv. During their weekly meetings, Flower’s life story gradually unfolds. Anna’s car becomes a safe space, a confessional booth into which Flower and others whose lives are intertwined with hers occasionally enter. This is not a story of salvation but of a profound emotional bond that reveals the cracks and strengths of human existence.
