Family
Directed by Veronica Kedar
Narative Feature
Israel | 104 min | 2017
In a perfect world, Lily would have grown up with a loving father, a caring mother, a sane sister and a brother who wasn’t madly in love with her… But you can’t always get what you want… and Lily finds herself in her living room, staring at four dead bodies.
She goes to her therapist after hours, to confess and make sense of this confusing day. But Lily’s therapist isn’t home. Her teenage, judgmental, insensitive daughter is. Lily finds herself once more, locked in a battle of wills for some serious adult attention.
“Family” is the portrait of every family, if it’s being taken in the dark.
