Invisible

Israel Germany, 2011

Haunted by the same unspeakable nightmare, a random encounter brings two women together. Emotions that were once left buried would have to be dealt with and confronted. Lily is an outspoken left-wing activist; Nira is a reserved television editor. Both are outwardly independent and strong women. Lily is married with two grown children, her marriage long dead. Nira is a single mother who cannot contemplate ever being interested in a man. A fleeting moment unites them and the two women join forces to confront the past. It's time to heal and move on. Invisible mixes fact with fiction using televised material and recorded testimonies of women who, like Lily and Nira, have survived despite their nightmare.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with the director and actors
