Synopsis:
With his father in a coma, Itzhak breaks ten years of silence. Discontented, Itzhak feels neglected by his wife and three children. But faced with their own immediate concerns, none of the family members, other than 10 year old Didush, seem to show any interest in anything other than themselves. It takes Didush and the developing relationship with her grandfather to decipher the old family secret and break down the emotional barriers that paralyse the Grossman family.
A powerful and complex family saga, 'Things Behind the Sun' is a beautifully shot film with a tour de force performance by legendary Asi Dayan as Itzhak.
