The cinema of Israeli director Eran Riklis appears to be traversed by a constant tension towards an encounter, if possible, with the other and his reasons. Knowing that this search takes place in a space dominated by conflict, by the radical separation of experiences, ideas and expectations. And again, in a region of the earth that has not had peace since time immemorial and that seems to have, today, plunged into the worst nightmare, that of the annihilation of one or the other. The question that remains open in his work remains the same: to whom or what should we entrust the huge task of repairing, soothing such deep wounds? Perhaps also to the fragile palpitations of cinema and its stories.
