Synopsis

In a world that does not appreciate artists, where sensitive souls don't stand a chance, a poetry-loving kindergarten teacher discovers a child poet and decides to take it upon herself to nurture him.

To save his greatness from the world, to salvage him from the banal, the mediocre and the crude - to save him from life itself.



It is the story of a female Don Quixote, who strives to save the world through the poetry of a child, and of a pensive child who has no desire to be saved.

Cast: Sarit Larry, Avi Schnaidman, Lior Raz, Hamuchtar, Ester Rada, Guy Oren, Yehezkel Lazarov, Dan Toren

Poetry is dead - but maybe a five-year-old boy can save it, with the help of his kindergarten teacher. --Marsha Lederman (Globe and Mail)
