About the Film:
German conceptual artist Gunter Demnig’s Stolpersteine ("stumbling stones") project provides a pathway to heal one of the most egregious wrongs of history and foster reconciliation throughout Europe. Each of the 100,000 stones in 30 countries honors the story and location of individual victims and generational trauma. One artist’s singular vision for healing has become the world's largest decentralized memorial to Nazi atrocities.

About the Film:
Far from Tel Aviv and big city crimes, Daphna, 40, a promising police officer with a big mouth, finds herself in the small town of Afula dealing with petty crimes, seeking shade from the scorching heat and dodging the nagging question:” When are you going to get married, and have kids?”. The disappearance of Orly Elimeleh, a beautiful and wild 36 year-old army widow and former beauty queen, soon raises another troubling question for Daphna – why isn't anybody looking for her? This indifference towards Orly’s uncertain fate shakes Daphna to the core. Matan, the younger 34 year-old son and “black sheep” of Orly’s late husband’s family, seems to be the only one who shares Daphna’s concerns, which pushes her to step beyond her professional boundaries. As her faith both in herself and in everybody surrounding her is called into question, Daphna will have to do something she has managed to avoid her entire adult life : put her trust in a man.
