Ye’arim – A Temporary Home
Following the October 7th massacre, Netiv HaAsara and Kibbutz Zikim residents were evacuated to the ‘Ye’arim’ Hotel in the Jerusalem hills. The film portrays a diverse array of characters including evacuees, hotel staff, and volunteers, presenting a mosaic of voices and stories.
