synopsis

The story of a boy at risk who, as a young child, experienced violence in his parent's home. He has since been struggling to find his place in society, yet his chances of succeeding seem unlikely. This film documents his coming of age at a school that treats youth at risk through contact with nature. In the course of one year, he struggles to cope with school and first love, while reclaiming his place in his mother's home, in a last attempt to integrate into society. As it follows Eliran's attempts to create for himself a home and a place in the world, the film captures his transformation of an abandoned plot outside his mother's apartment building into a magical oasis for various animals, as well as the destruction wrought upon this refuge.
