This award winning mother-daughter drama follows the story of a Russian Ex-pat young mother, ‘Asia,’ and her teenage daughter who live alongside each other rather than together in Jerusalem. When her daughter develops a catastrophic illness, they both adjust to a new relationship. Never maudlin or sentimental, this character study delivers an emotional impact that lasts long after the last scene. Starring well known Israeli actress Shira Haas, Asia won 8 Ophir Awards, including best actress and best supporting actress. FREE SCREENING
