In the fall of 2019, Filmmaker David Deri-Barkai began documenting four families, parents and their children – his secular gay family in Tel Aviv, a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox family in Beit Shemesh, a Muslim family in Taibeh and a Jewish Religious family in the Ofra settlement (West Bank). The pandemic that broke out a few months later, along with the lock-downs, fears and social unrest that followed, created unprecedented family and national pressure. Four families, parents and their children, from four minorities in Israel, are having an identity crisis which amplified during the pandemic. While for some, their belief is a source of strength, others confront doubts, and rifts are deepening – but a fascinating dialogue and surprising alliances are created.
