    • Synopsis
    • In a small village, Hagar Erlich is somewhat of an alien. Childless and unemployed, Hagar cannot find her place in her small town community and in her own life as a newlywed.
      After being forced to watch over Yiftach, the ten year old son of the lady next door, Hagar comes to know a gentle, vulnerable boy who touches her soul. She decides to take him to the ruins of an enchanted, abandoned village – her secret hideaway. There, among the ruins, Hagar points out to the boy a soldier who has strayed from his platoon, a soldier Hagar has been following for some time. The boy is caught up in the magic of Hagar’s game, and helps her connect with the soldier. Through this shared secret, Hagar comes closer to her passions, comes closer to herself, but also comes closer to a great tragedy.
