Turn Over the Stones
Long after he was locked in jail, isolated from society, Sami won his freedom, but he still had a hard time forgiving himself. Sami lives his life in a small container in the middle of the desert, while the big house he built for his wife Kohava, stands empty. Sami suffers from manic-depressive psychosis that is causing him to experience his life in a unique and uncompromising way. His letters to Kohava, which he sent from all around the world, while he was imprisoned, contain his wounded soul’s stories, past and present.
