Night Fences [גדרי לילה]
Author(s): Itamar Yaoz-Kest
Two survivors, Eva and Daniel, return to Eva’s village in Germany after the war to find out what happened to her family. As they sit in a dusty shed in the woods sifting through old objects, Eva begins to see visions of camp inmates marching around her. She joins the dead in recreating camp horrors and becomes consumed by fear. Daniel can’t see the images and is afraid for her. She cries in Daniel’s arms.
