The Father - האב (2026)
A man in his sixties, navigating life with dementia, depends on the sticky notes he writes for himself just to get through each day. While his adult daughters sort through his belongings to ready his home for a move to assisted living, he drifts through the scattered pieces of his slipping memory, confused as to why the faces he loves are slowly vanishing. As the line between what’s real and what’s remembered blurs, he keeps reuniting with the imagined presence of his late wife, Michal. These ghostly meetings pull him into a deeply emotional struggle, forcing a heartbreaking dilemma: cling to everything he’s already lost, or accept the love that’s still right beside him. Then, in a fleeting moment of lucidity, he and his daughters uncover a final, powerful way to reach each other before the disease tears them apart.
