Nesher

he series follows a young newlywed Chabad couple — Shmulik (Michael Moshonov) and Mushki (Nitzan Levartovsky) — who travel to Kathmandu, Nepal, to establish the first Chabad House there. They face the challenges of living in a foreign country, dealing with Israeli backpackers of all kinds, and navigating a completely different culture. Alongside their story are other plotlines, including Giani (Liron Levo), a former Israeli who runs a guesthouse and tries to distance himself from his roots, and Yamit (Gal Gadot), who is searching for her missing sister in the East. The series is largely based on real events and was inspired by the actual Chabad emissaries in Kathmandu (Chezki and Chani Lifshitz).

Raveh does not only document the past, he documents a future that will never be, and the films that Amrani did not live to create. Researching Amrani's documents, Raveh found several short screenplays, and sought out three directors of Amrani's generation to bring them to life. The short films are interwoven throughout the documentary - "The Boat", directed by Nir Bergman, "Albert and Ronit", directed by Dover Kosashvili, and "Sabbath Eve", directed by Joseph Cedar. The warmth, intensity and drama of family life; issues of Persian ethnicity; tradition and the desire to break away from tradition; the competition and camaraderie of boys and men; the search for love; a persistent spiritual search and a love of the sea - all these are reflected in the brief yet intriguing vignettes, imbuing the film with a sense of Amrani's vision as a filmmaker and how his presence might have influenced the Israeli film scene.
