Country: Israel
Year: 2016
Duration: 90'
Returning to civilian life after twenty-seven years in the army isn’t as easy as David had hoped. It’s hard to re-establish daily contact with his family, with the dimension of his home and, above all, with the new Israel, an ultra-competitive society obsessed with success. Thus, the opportunity to join a company which produces nutritional supplements seems like a possible escape to be seized without hesitation. But David doesn’t know how much his country has changed.

Declaration
film director
“Beyond the Mountains and Hills is a film about guilt, about living in the shadow of guilt – a guilt with no name or explicit reason, which rises out of the ground like fine mist. It is a film whose heroes, like characters in a cartoon, keep walking on thin air long after they have gone over the cliff’s edge, entirely dependent on the consoling power of not knowing, of a willful blindness. It is a film about good people living in a bad reality, a reality which allows only the roles of the victim or the executioner. It is a story that tries to question the meaning of the decisions made within this reality.”
