White Eye

Israel2019fiction21'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2020)

An ordinary situation transforms into a social drama providing insight into the reality of the contemporary Israel, although it could have happened in many other corners of the world, too. By accident, the protagonist finds his beloved bike which was stolen a month ago in the street. Trying to get it back, in the name of noble intentions he launches a chain of events that will soon make him radically question his own actions. Blame in "White Eye" turns out less unambiguous than it seems at the beginning and the punishment is more severe than the crime that was committed. Who really committed it, the apparent thief or the just man? Difficult questions and apt observations gain dynamics thanks to the form of the story, which is narrated in one take.
