Israel2018documentary51'Konkurs dokumentalny (2019)
Fear, shame and guilt are the feelings that bed-ridden Unes has to deal with. Many years ago, he dishonoured his Arab family by agreeing to collaborate with the Israeli special service and helping “enemies” to buy land from Palestinians. Since then, neither him not his family members have been able to find peace. Will the traitor’s death eventually erase this stigma? In a claustrophobic atmosphere, the camera assists the dying collaborator who shares with us his own version of the past events damaging his reputation.
