Girl, Woman

Girl, Women

At the age of 30, Ella receives a mysterious suitcase with home tapes from the 1990s, which have been kept secret to this day. The videotapes uncover her mother’s, the singer Dafna Armony, life. This happens while Ella is helping her mother pack up and move – another consecutive move forced upon her due to a complex economic reality. Through the videotapes from the past, Ella discovers that behind her mother’s iconic figure hides a personal and painful story. For the first time, she is also being exposed to the identity of her father – a mysterious figure around whom rumors have hovered throughout her life. Girl, Women is a family portrait of two women who merge into one: the mother, a former legend, and the daughter, a filmmaker.
