How it feels

In the port city of Jaffa, a man facing the loss of his home waits. Two women cling to their houses: one cares for her mother as her home is taken over by an Israeli film crew, the other makes wedding decorations and dreams of love. An old captain sits still in a café all day, while another man paces restlessly. They hold onto hope through small daily rituals.
