As Itay prepares for his mandatory military service, his sister’s intimate lens captures a family on the edge. What starts as a bittersweet portrait of parental anxiety takes a dramatic turn when frustration leads Itay to a suicide attempt in his military base. Through raw, uncensored conversations, and with the healing power of the camera, the family is forced to confront years of denial, finally discovering the truth: Itay is autistic. A moving journey from alienation to acceptance, showing how one diagnosis can transform a “broken” young man into a person finally seen for who he truly is.
