SUMMARY
The filmmaker returns to Jaffa, the city of his birth and childhood, through Israeli and American fiction films that were shot there going back as far as 1960. All the protagonists are edited out of the original footage; in the images of the extras and the people passing by, the filmmaker looks for the history of a place from which he came. Coming from the sea, as if in a dream, he wanders through the city and reconstructs his memories of a place that no longer exists, using the rare archived footage to subtly depict every house, road, and square. A uniquely created visual memory record of a city, people, and family in a city that was once known as the “Bride of the Mediterranean.”
