An investigation into the authenticity of home movies. In 12 minutes, the director refutes the idealized image he had of his parents, and reveals how an international drama gave their marriage a new beginning. When his father was kidnapped with the Israeli Olympic team during the 1972 Games, and was the only released hostage, his mother came to her senses in Munich. The marriage endured, and one week after his father’s return, the filmmaker was born.
