7 Days
2008 · Movie · 108 min. · Israel
Set in Israel in 1991, the film centres on the Ohaion family who are mourning the death of one of their relatives. In keeping with tradition, the close relatives gather together in the home of the deceased and stay there for seven days. While everyone seems to bow to the custom, living under the same roof becomes increasingly difficult. Forced to put up with one another day and night, the brothers and sisters soon let their bitterness and arguments override the sense of communal reverence. The atmosphere becomes unbearable and long-buried truths finally surface…
