Not A Word (2017)
Kesem hasn't spoken in years. Living in a small kibbutz, she communicates only through notes — words she can write but never say. Having long lost her faith in love, she believes it belongs only in the movies. But when life keeps confronting her with other people's love stories, Kesem finds herself standing at a fragile crossroads between cynicism and hope, and one silent gesture from Itay, her childhood friend, might finally break the walls she built around her heart.
