Morad, a teenager from an Arab village in the north of Israel, disconnects himself from humans, following a violent attack. As a last resort before hospitalization in a mental institution, he is taken by his devoted father to be treated with dolphins in Eilat. Morad starts speaking again after months of silence, but erases memories of his past and refuses to go home to his awaiting mother.
Filmed over the course of four years, this powerful documentary is about the devastating havoc that human violence can wreak upon the soul, and about the healing powers of nature and love.
