50 Blue

Dozens of local viewers were standinging along the shoreline of the Sea of Galilee and witnessed a once in a lifetime performance. A group of unknown members hoisted a wheelchair bound person, one of their own, to a top of guarding tower that was situated inside the water. This collective feat resulted in a short film that tested the limits of communal devotion.

In the film, a young man pushes an elderly disabled man through a muddy landscape. It is a long and exhausting trip to an unclear destination that the viewer only discovers in the end.
