AN AVERAGE STORY (18 min)
How average are you? Avi Cohen gets the answer to that question—with a vengeance—on the day he learns that he’s officially the most average man in Israel. This ought to be good news, since it instantly transforms him into a national icon. Unfortunately, Avi’s plans with his wife to capitalize on their good fortune go unpredictably awry.
THE MUTE’S HOUSE
Abandoned by its Palestinian owners, the deserted building in Hebron is known to Israeli soldiers as “The Mute’s House”—its only occupants are a deaf woman, Sahar, and her eight-year-old son Yousef. The family’s unique story, a touching counterpoint to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is told through the eyes of the young and charismatic Yousef as he goes about his daily routine in the heart of a city torn apart by hatred and violence.
