The Farewell Party
Yehezkel, age 75, living in a Jerusalem retirement home, decides to fulfill his terminally ill best friend Max's wish to die in peace. Despite the objections of his wife Levana, Yehezkel and Max's wife Yana enlist the help of Dr. Daniel, a veterinarian, and retired police officer Raffi Segal to help them with their mission. At the moment of truth the group realize that none of them is willing to "pull the trigger". A retired engineer and inventor, Yehezkel builds a machine for self-euthanasia, purely to help his friend. But after Max is gone, rumors about the machine begin to spread, and the group receives more pleas for help. Meanwhile Yehezkel refuses to face the reality of his wife's deteriorating dementia. As Yehezkel navigates between new requests for the machine, and Levana's growing dependency, boundaries begin to blur, and the moral dilemmas the group face become impossible to bear.
