I began to look for a subject for my final film project and just then my nephew was born.
I started to think about how I could raise a child, with my disability and I began to take an interest in handicapped people who had raised children.
I met Zehava Padnes, a polio victim , a mother of 2 children dreaming of dancing and Oren Braier, a young man who specialized in folk dance, who, since childhood, had watched his father dance in a wheelchair.
Zehava and Oren dreamed of putting on a unique, joint dance performance in which they would do the impossible. They suggested that I make a film about their dance performance.
I began the process with great enthusiasm. I came to their rehearsals and performances. It wasn’t easy. I was helped by friends and by my mother, who supported me, but sometimes interfered too much. As time went by, my relations with the dancing couple encountered difficulties. The mounting tension, as the date of the main performance of Zehava and Oren approached, resulted in their barring me from filming the premiere of the performance they had dreamed about.
Two years passed. I decided to go back to the film.
During the editing, I realized that I had to meet the couple and watch the film together with them. After much hesitation, and discussion with my mother, who confronted me with the question: “You wanted to make a film?” I decided to go to Haifa. With my heart pounding, I made it to Zehava’s door. What will happen now? How will the film end?
