Vision
To question, Discover, Transmit a vision of Sephardic culture via five countries. Through the eyes of a filmmaker, characters express themselves, live, question and seek their origins.
My goal with this film: to capture the complexity and richness of Sepharadism through sometimes dissonant paths.
To get out of the cliches that usually hold Sephardic culture hostage.
