A short stay in an apartment in Tel Aviv, not far from the sea. Is normal life possible here? Are images possible here? A film without the slightest intention - except to be without intention, so that something can become visible or possibly happen. «I have never desired to make a film in Israel.When I make a documentary, my greatest desire is that it has nothing to do directly with my own story or that of the Jews. And if it does, as in Histoires d'Amérique: Food, Family and Philosophy, then I stage it as thoroughly as for the theater, so that a distance arises - and this distance makes everything possible.» (Chantal Akerman)
