Tsili

Amos Gitai : 2014

World War II. Tsili, a young Jewish woman, is hiding in the forest south of Czernowicz. Her entire family was deported to the camps. Hiding in the war zone, she builds a nest for herself. Escaping the savagery of the valley, she finds refuge in the nature. She is a little retarded and doesn't quite keep up with what is happening around her. Marek discovers her nest. He addresses her in Yiddish and finds out that she belongs to his people. Marek settles in the nest with Tsili. One day he goes down to the village to look for food but he never returns. The war is over. Tsili starts walking. She finds a group of people assembling next to the coast looking for a boat that will take them to another land. Amos Gitai's feature premiered at Venice International Film Festival 2014.
