Next to Her



Asaf Korman : 2014
At li layla

Chelli, 27, is raising her mentally disabled sister Gabby, 24, all by herself. When the social worker finds out she leaves her sister alone in the house while at work, she is forced to place her in a day-care centre. For the first time in her life she shares the upbringing of her dear sister with someone else, her daily routine collapses and the huge void, left by her sister's absence, makes room for a man in Chelli's life. That man, Zohar, tears another crack in the symbiotic relationship of the two sisters. Chelli hangs on to his love as if it was a life belt. But her inability to lead a normal, intimate and emotional relationship with anyone but her sister, forces them into a twisted threesome, where boundaries between love, sacrifice, nurturing and torturing are broken. Asaf Korman's feature debut premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2014.
