Searching for Shushani

Vision

A documentary movie about a mysterious man.

Activity

Mr Chouchani was one of the greatest mind that ever lived; a secret Mentor, a kabbalist, a scholar, a mathematician… and yet he slept on a park bench, had no real home, traveled the world and looked like a bum. He never told anyone his real name or shared any details of his background. This is his story.

Nobody knew his name, or how old he was. Perhaps he had no name. Perhaps he had no age. He lacked all of those qualities by which a man is defined as belonging to a certain group. He possessed the superhuman power of remaking the past for himself.
