    • Synopsis
    • I hate it when people ask me if I'm pro-Israel or pro-Palestine.
      When I went to Israel in 2000, I had no idea where the trip would take me.
      I come from a Jewish family with a deep sense of tradition and progressive ideals.
      I arrived in Tel Aviv on vacation. Due to a mixture of adventure and curiosity, I crossed from Jerusalem to Gaza and the West Bank.
      With my camera as my only companion, I lived in Palestinian and Israeli homes over a period of months. I filmed it all. I found myself on a trip that I could never have imagined.
      I returned to Argentina, but I couldn't deal with the documentary for 15 years.
      NEY is not a film about the conflict. It is a film that deals –with a sense of paranoia- with a conflict on how the conflict is seen, how it is perceived.
      But mainly it is a film of a young person (a young me) who faces the dilemma of every grown up: how much do the traditions weight? How the invisible threads of family and love balance the social and moral crossroads that I faced? Where shall I draw the line? Where do I stand? Is it worth believing in the other? What’s a community?
      Anyway... I don’t want to limit the questions that arouse when making the documentary by writing them down.
      NEY is an exciting trip and a romantic view on growing up.
      It is the reconstruction of that trip, 15 years later.
