Esther
Late-night phone calls between Tel Aviv and Hamburg during wartime unravel the story of Esther Ofarim. This film is a portrait of a legendary voice caught between international stardom and national rejection, exploring the price of choosing silence over the spotlight. It traces the myth of an artist who refused to be claimed as a public icon or a national treasure.
